The best selling Dark Souls game sold just under 2M... Less than Prime 1 on the GC and Metroid on the NES, about the same as Prime 3 and more than Prime 2 on the GC. Bravo I guess?

Metroid does exploration in a brilliant fashion... Which is its core vfocus. And that's the reason why Other M and Hunters aren't real Metroid games.


Prime 1 and Metroid are the best selling in the franchise, the best selling Dark Souls (first game) on one platform (PS3) has outsold every other Metroid game.

True exploration is done well but then exploration can be done in many ways, Xenoblade, Skyrim, Fallout etc... all do it their own way, Metroid does it in a way that requires a combination of added mechanics which own their own are adequate at best but together they're good. As for OM and Hunters telling yourself that won't change a thing they're real Metroid games whether you like them or not, OM even allows exploration unhampered after the main story and is not too different from Fusion.

Moving goal posts... Prime 2 & 3, Fusion, Metroid II, Shitroid: Other M and Super Metroid outsold the second best selling Dark Souls game...
