Oh yes it did break the 2 million barrier. Ask Metroid Prime.

I think Reggie WOULD KNOW MORE THAN YOU, no offense.  The original Metroid Prime numbers are bloated beyond reason.  Some of the contributing factors are  1) It's a launch title 2) It was given away as a free game at retail as part of Nintendo's promotion to sell GCN 3)It was bundled together with the gamecube to launch Echoes 4) IT BECAME A PLAYERS CHOICE which means it sold at retail for a few years at budget price in contrast to the others!!!

1. Metroid Prime was not a launch title, it launched in 2002.

2. It was never given away as a free game, though it was included in one particular bundle.

3. Yes.

4. It is not the only game to become a player's choice in this serie.s

Metroid Prime still shattered the 2 million barrier. Super Metroid is not even clsoe to the best-selling Metroid. The first one beats it into the ground, for starters, and Metroid Fusion (which released at roughly the same time as Prime) also outsold it. Hell, so did Corruption unless my memory is faulty.
