| Wyrdness said: Metroid Prime's sales are inflated though, no one at the time knew what type of game it was and many thought it was a Halo type of shooter when buying it when it was something else. This why Echoes sold less as at that point it was clear the type of game it was and DKJB outsold the latter. |
Why people bought something doesn't matter in the end, since ultimately we cannot prove motive, only the end result.
Prime 2 sold pretty much the same amount as Jungle Beat, but more than Donkey Konga, GCN's second highest selling DK game.
If we combine the four by series we get 4.15m for Metroid, 2.49m for Donkey Kong.
