No, it's not. People need to stop saying that. Just because Samus is an adult and you shoot things doesn't mean it's at all similar to those games. It's a very obtuse (when it's good) franchise that is very demanding of the players intelligence and critical thinking to progress. It's a very methodical franchise that is far more of a cerebral experience than a fast-paced one. That kind of experience is extremely boring to a lot of people. Playing Metroid is like playing Dark Souls if the map was 5 times larger and the enemies are easy to kill.
The entire allure is getting lost in a giant, quiet, alien labyrinth and the idea of that is extremely boring to a lot of people, even when it's done expertly, so it's absolutely obviously why it doesn't get sales like those juggarnauts that are made to be easy, straight forward, and accessable by comparison.
