I still think that MP4 would sell more on hype alone. Its obvious DKC was a game that was wished for, but TF wasnt. It was too soon for another DKC, but not for another metroid prime. |
So you'd rather take arbitrary rules and assumptions over hard data, okay then...

It sold 600k more, and MP1 & 2 also sold more. Userbase doesn't matter for the Metroid franchise. |
Yep, it's too niche to matter.

To be fair, I'd estimate that a little less than half of that 100m install base on the Wii would be what you'd call 'core gamers' based on the sales numbers for some of Nintendo's significant non-casual games (Animal Crossing, Smash, 3D Mario and mainline Zelda for example) compared to similar series entries on the Gamecube. The only games I can remember off-hand that got significant boosts becuase of the casual crowd (besides casual games) were 2D platformers, Mario Kart and party games. |
Not seeing your point here. Who exactly the games sold to is irrelevant unless you're trying to explain why the Metroid base is louder.
