A few more thoughts (all sales numbers from VGC).

* Compelation triologies can be risky. For example Metroid Prime 3 sold 1.63M worldwide on Wii while Trilogy two years later sold just 0.66M (with no sales listed in Japan).

Just one quick correction. Metroid Prime Trilogy was planned as a limited edition print and was never released in Japan. There was definitely more demand for it than what Nintendo shipped, but they decided to stick with their decision to keep it a limited edition (possibly in order to create interest and increase demand for Metroid games). So that particular argument is invalid.

True. But sales might hav been even weaker than expected for Triloogy as Best Buy blew them out for $20 at one point.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
