While I don't think it will be a megahit, I do think Prime 4 has the potential to be the best selling game in the series for many of the reasons already mentioned. (That is, as long as they don't drop the ball and make it a godawful abomination like Other M)

Switch's lineup is so far lacking in grittier, more serious experiences, and Prime 4 could fill that gap nicely, thus diversifying the system's lineup and offering something to appeal to the kind of gamers who wouldn't normally purchase a Nintendo system.

OM is not as bad as many of you try to make it out to be and funny enough that approach of Metroid has higher potential to do well compared to Prime tbh because the Prime games being FP are very limited compared to the creative freedom of the TP games, the Prime games aren't really that gritty either. Gameplay wise OM was actually good despite the flaws of the game the approach has more mechanical freedom so a refined execution of it along with building on the template has higher potential than what the Prime series can offer.

I don't see Prime 4 doing any better than the original Prime did tbh because people are more aware of the type of game it is and that it's not a Halo like shooter like they thought it was going to be back then, it requires a very specific taste even among so called core players to get into.

Other M was not good from a gameplay perspective at all, the controls were atrocious, the camera awkward, the pacing poor. It was a hodgepodge of bad design choices.
