I'd say the game has more in common with Wii Play from a market perspective (Wii ____ branding, mandatory controller bundle). They're somewhat different when you get to the actual games (though within the same general genre), but I'd say the same for Prime 3 and Other M to be honest. |
What I mean is that sales of the Wii franchise don't seem dependent on their Wii name at all. Wii Music is best testament to this, and it's also the second-most-recent title in the series, not Play. Compare it to Mario Party, which it's actually meant to replace.
And Metroid has managed to sell more or less consistently across genres; it doesn't get a pass, here.
