Metroid!

Metroid Prime sold 2.83 million, and the original NES Metroid sold 2.73 million. Every other mainstream Metroid game sold 0.7-1.7 million.

Halo.

Halo 1 sold 6.43 million, and now Halo 3 sold 11.14 million, with Reach expected to better it.

Forza Motorsport

Forza Motorsport 1 sold 1.07 million, Forza Motorsport 2 sold 4.02 million, and Forza Motorsport 3 is looking to do about the same.

Super Smash Bros.

the N64 version sold 5.55 million, GCN sold 7.08 million, and Wii version is at 9.61 million and growing.

Thats all that comes to mind except for Call Of Duty.


You're missing the point. Only Forza really fits.

Metroid never broke through, and since the first game sold so closely, that means Prime doesn't have significant sales over a previous iteration.

Halo and Smash Bros broke through in the first game. Did you not read the whole OP?

LOTN, I had a thread here sometime last year that compared all the million selling franchises (this gen) with their previous generation counterparts for all 3 home consoles.  I'll try to make an update to it soon and add it to this thread.  I tried to look it up but can't find it.

Well the search function sucks, since it only searches users, not threads.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
