And inbetween. Does that throw a wrench into it? 

Here's what you forgot

Metroid 2 1991

Metroid Fuzion  2002

Metroid Zero Mission & Prime 2 2004

Metroid Prime Hunters 2006

Metroid Prime 3 2007

Prime Trilogy (if you want to count it...) 2009

So it's become more popular in the last decade, there is likely one to be sooner than later. Plus Metroid Hunters on the DS disproves your theory of it missing every third console. GB, GBA, DS. Unless you count the GBC as a second GB, then it's still discounted due to the GBA. 

So basically 

i dont know how many times i have to say this, but none of that matters. how do the games in between change the fact that there is one released every 8 years? it doesnt

LOL. Guess we'll find out in 2018. When I read it originally, it seemed like you were saying that was the NEXT one. Especially since you said it misses every third console which isn't correct.
