| Khuutra said: Killana1a, Echoes is the lowest-selling console Metroid, not Super Metroid. It's right there on the page you linked. Similarly, Metroid Prime is the highest-selling Metroid period. Worse, this game is never, ever, ever goign to sell as high as other console Metroids. Not any of them, not ever. It's goign to be brutal. Concerning NPD numbers: we'll see if Brett adjusts his numbers. We had Other M selling more than that in the first week. |
Is Week 6 too soon to call that?
The public has definitely sent a message that they don't want this kind of Metroid in future. I'm happy about that. Whether Nintendo takes that in the right way (i.e. going back to either NES Metroid or Metroid Prime style games, which sell well) remains to be seen.
I also think Malstrom was right here (on this specific issue, not everything he says). He's been skeptical since the announcement about its quality and sales potential, long before anyone else could see it. I didn't believe him until I saw how much focus there was on cinematic and narrative, a few months ago.
