Not if they shelf the franchise indefinitely.

I don't think Nintendo will shelf the Metroid series because Other M sold "ONLY" 500K copies in it's first month!!! In addition, the Metroid series on average has been about 800K-1.4M units in sales and in any case Other M is on it's way in acheiveing those numbers. (I see sales of ~600K by christmas2010 and ~740K within a year of release and  850K-1M lifetime)  The Conduit which is getting a sequel got even less than what Other M sold in month during it's lifetime.  In addition, piracy (the Wii's achille's heel) has also played a part in softening sales for the game. One of the torrent sites I follow had 47K download for the title since it was released; and that's just one site. (that's why piracy is a cancer to this industry and I don't believe in that homebrew crap)

yeah because it's the developer's only halfway decent selling game. I bet Nintendo or even Team Ninja have some projects, that could lead to more profit.

Yeah, one of them being Other M, which is already a profitable venture for both Team Ninja and Nintendo; seeing the average cost to develop and market a  Wii game and how many copies  this game had already sold and should sell this holiday season!!!
