If you want to talk about gameplay mechanics for another game (which you haven't played) then go into a thread about this other game. This thread is for discussing sales of Metroid: Other M.

Which sold decent.

No, it really didn't.

For a Metroid game - even for a Metroid game, which is a fourth-tier franchise for Nintendo in terms of sales - Other M did very poorly.

To explain my point of view, I'm being fair and calling the VGC numbers false, but since I personally cannot prove it, I also need to claim the NPD numbers as false, so the most fair step would be to simply look at the average between the two, which IS mathematically more precise than either of the two numbers. But even then there is a best case and a worst case scenario.

Average: 237k                                             (NPD - 173k; VGC - 302k)
Best case: 261k           (everything  10%: NPD - 190k; VGC - 332k)
Worst case: 214k        (everything -10%: NPD - 156k; VGC - 272k)
