Funny thing about fanboyism is that they tend to twist your words around and that's why I refrain from you Khuutra since I've been observing you for a while. Let's see my position is that the game is doing fine and making a nice profit! Reggie stated that Super Metroid was the most succesful console Metroid to come out since that time and none has sold more than 1.5-2M which is what Nintendo is aiming for. Which is a modest goal seeing the Metroid series is really not a big seller!!! MP sales are bloated and I have already linked it to sites stating the reason for this. Still waiting for the link though that you said Reggie expected Other M to beat the original Prime. I hope you find it if it even excisted...I very much doubt it though!!!

Oh boy.
Of course you realize that if Super Metroid is the most successful Metroid then outselling its numbers (a cool 1.5 million or so) would mean outselling Metroid Prime - in fact, that would be reflexive, wouldn't it? By your own position you acknowledge the validity of that claim.
I can't find a statement where he names Metroid Prime specifically, but the statement you continue to cite illustrates that he wanted Other M to break the sales barrier that Metroid never has in the US - and yes, that would include the original Prime. The point is proven for me.
Sales being "bloated" means absolutely nothing. A sale is a sale is a sale is a sale. Metroid Prime was owned by more people than any other Metroid, period, end of discussion.
