| Khuutra said: To prove the point that Reggie WAS talking about US only, here are all the collected sales numbers for the Metroid series so far: http://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=Metroid&publisher=&console=&genre=&minSales=0&results=50&sort=Total You will note that legacy numbers - those for Gamecube era and before - are based on financial reports from Nintendo. They are absolutely accurate. Metroid Prime sold 1.98 million units in the US. It's the only game to sell over 1.5 million in the US. The 2 million barrier in the US has never been broken, which is perfectly in keeping with his prior statement. Ergo, he expected Other M to outsell the original Prime - at least in the US. Which, yes, means that Other M has so far set course to fail to meet sales expectations. EDIT: And while I'm on this point, I'm going to point out that Corruption sold 0.9 million in the US! Which means that if Other M was expected to break the 1.5-2 million barrier in the US (which it was, according to Reggie) then yes, it was expected to double Corruption's sales numbers in the US. |
So your telling me you still haven't found the quote you said Reggie expected Other M to beat Prime and the best you could do is ASSume that's what he meant!!! Okay then I'm done with you...movin' on!!!
