What I see is that an innovative 10/10 game got initially high sales because of a variety of reasons. Then the series stablized to its baseline with echoes (1.33) and then it grew again with the higher install base of the Wii with Prime 3, and then it stabilized again with Other M (a relatively lackluster addition to the series.) All of these games sold more than Super Metroid. To use the words "flop" in this context is not only ridiculous, but deceitful and delusional. 

What you're missing is value of the sale.  Metroid Prime 3 sold fairly well, but Other M made most of its sales at bargain bin prices. 

Again 80% of Other M's (over 990,000)  sales were in its first year. When did it hit the bargain bin?
