It's certainly not a million or more as the initial sales of Metroid Prime were less than that. I would say that the hype surrounding the game got more people to buy the game than the misbelief that it could be a FPS. In either case, many people who bought Metroid Prime (including those who knew what the game was about) ended up not liking the game all that much, because otherwise Echoes would have opened with much higher numbers and bad word of mouth can't hurt initial sales of a game, because bad word of mouth didn't exist at that point.
More than one million people had bought Metroid Prime in the USA when Echoes launched to sales of a good 200k in November 2004. The main point I am making is that Metroid Prime's sales were inflated by several factors, because how else do you explain such a weak start for the sequel's sales? All due to waning interest in the Gamecube itself? More like many Metroid Prime owners felt that this wasn't the type of game they like (which they couldn't know before they purchased it as MP was the first of its kind).

You're claiming sales of Prime 1 past the initial one somehow didn't hurt legs but did hurt the sequel? Lack of legs hurts the first game. Plus what you claim would have had a huge backlash, and it just got the typical fanboy whining.

What? I don't even know what you mean by that.
Besides, most people don't go on message boards to complain about games they bought. If they don't like it, they simply don't buy the sequel.

No, if they don't like it, they stop the FIRST GAME from being bought after the marketing and hype dies down.
You don't have any proof of this. You just keep insisting that is so, and ignoring the possibility that the second game could just be disapponting for some.
