So, Splatoon moved more consoles than DK Tropical Freeze

The original point was stating how Metroid Prime 3 sold only a couple of extra hundred thousands compared to Tropical Freeze even when the Wii had a userbase of 100m. Selling close to 2m on a userbase of 100m sounds a hell of a lot worse than selling close to 2m on a userbase of around 45-50m core gamers.  That being said, I think a Metroid Prime game would have had a negligible sales increase compared to Tropical Freeze (if any) but I think it would have moved more consoles considering it would have been Metroid's first HD game (and an HD Prime game would have probably looked spectacular enough to entice people on visuals alone), fans were thirsty and wanted to get the taste of Other M out of their mouths, it would have stood out in the sea of Wii U 2D platformers and it might have turned into the deciding factor in convincing many people who didn't care for the majority of Nitnendo's kid-friendly 1st party games to buy a Wii U.

So you're saying Metroid would have succeeded where every other Wii U game ever has failed. Also it's more logical to assume the games that sell more also move more consoles as long as we have no real way to prove how many systems each game has moved.

No, I said that I thought a Metroid Prime game would have done a better job at moving consoles than Tropical Freeze.
