Simple fact. Nintendo could of said something about said game. To minimize Fed Force hate.

So that one game selling 2 million, saved the series. But all the Metroid games selling that or more. Even Other M. It's a failure.

Fire Emblem Awakening is the highest selling FE game ever selling almost 2 million copies with Fates tracking close in the same timeframe. Metroid Prime sold close to 3 million, while Metroid Prime and Other M sold under 1.5 million, Metroid Prime 3 sold close to 2 million, and Metroid Prime Trilogy just over 600,000. You need to take into account development costs between the franchises as Fire Emblem and Metroid with the latter having its most recent titles release on home consoles while the former released on handhelds.

That's nearly 10 million in sales from Metroid, with 3 games developed on the same engine and one being a re-release with updated controls.  The games more than cover their costs and profited, especially on a low install base on the GC and with a small audience for the series.  If the pitiful Star Fox can get a AA level game, they can definitely push the boat out with Metroid on NX.
