I acknowledge it, I just think it's stupid. People being turned off before the game is released, doesn't make sense unless there were drastic changes to the formula made. But Echoes is a straight sequel and got favorable reviews all around, I think it got a 91 on Metacritic. What exactly could have turned so many Metroid Prime fans off?

I'm not talking about the initial sales. I'm talking about lack of legs, which we can see in the Americas with 2 and fully with 3. They both had just moderate legs. The kind that say people didn't think they were outright bad, but something was missing that kept the legs from being stronger. All the Call of Duty games on the Wii opened smaller, but have sold about the same, which indicates smaller initial awreness, but better word of mouth.

Initial sales were worse too though.
As for the legs: Player's Choice and bundles vs. no Player's Choice and no bundles. Maybe Echoes had a PC release, but at that time the Gamecube was already a dead man walking.

Player's choice doesn't inflate sales, because people still have to want the game, just at a lower price. Bundles apply to, since people have the choice to buy it without the bundle.
