Nintendo sucks at marketing its older-teen blockbusters

Couldn't Metroid have dudebors like Halo does? Or is it because Halo is more set in an American-style army world than Metroid Prime?

COD is a no-brainer, it's based in the military world, but why Halo, and why Master Chief more than Samus? Most people don't even know she's a girl, if that's the issue.

I also think that this character is similarly appealing to this character.

         

Here's a crazy theory - see that T for Teen in lower right corner? It should be M for Mature (that's what all "serious" teens are playing) and sales would be twice as much, with same content ;)
