The gameplay in the game is solid. The story is terrible and undermines so many qualities that were "Samus" that it is difficult to accept as being in the same world.
But....sales don't equate to quality. There have been many works of art in history that were barely known in their creator's lifetime that have went on to be iconic representations of movements or cultural timeframes. There have been many a great film in modern times that have sold abysmally in the theater, yet considered tremendous critical successes. Likewise, most of what sells is usually trite bantha fodder that the masses devour.
