| pokoko said: I want to go back to Metroid. Metroid: Other M barely sold over 1M copies. Not bad for a lot of games, but also not what you'd guess for a Nintendo property. Is it because Metroid: Other M wasn't a great game or because the gamers who might like Metroid aren't really on Nintendo systems anymore? How would Metroid: Other M have sold on PS3? Was that a clue for Nintendo that their audience was becoming one-dimensional? If so, should they continue to invest in Metroid? Personally, I think Metroid has a ton of potential. Nintendo just needs to do a better job managing it. They have so few IPs that tell an ongoing, continuous story. I know they don't really like that approach, but series like Halo and Uncharted have proven that it can be effective. |
Like I said, they just need to push the series. If they do then it will sell upwards of 1Million units. The Wii U, since most people are predicting it won't be a huge "Casual" console like the Wii, should help it on that front.
