 “Metroid is a key franchise, and in our view really since the SNES Metroid, we haven’t broken through in terms of 1.5 - 2 millions units. That’s our bar. That’s the scale that we look at to say on a GLOBAL basis this is effective.

GLOBAL=WORLDWIDE so in essence Nintendo's goal was only 1.5-2 M and that was their goal to attain since Nintendo acknowledges that is the bar for Metroid had failed to reach for quite sometime!!! Metroid Prime's number is bloated sorry Nintendo fanboys...I'm a Nintendo fan but even I admit that Prime's number was bloated because of console budles, a free holiday promotion, and being a player's choice for a couple of years (which Corruption and Othe M will never have the chance to have)!!!
