So I guess Sonic also sells more than Metroid.

Oh wait, Lost World Wii U/3DS and Sonic Boom Wii U/3DS all tanked. And Sonic Colors sold less than Metroid Prime 3. 

Please, Star Fox was revolutionary on the SNES, that's why it sold a lot. On rail shooters aren't relevant anymore these days. 

so? Star Fox SNES still sold more than any Metroid game

It was one of the first (if not the first) 3D game.

Unless you think a game can still sell 4 million units on the account of it being in 3D the new Star Fox won't sell anywhere near 4 million. Hence the example is not relevant in the slightest.
