Nintendo is a global company, not Japan only. 

Metroid Prime is the best selling Metroid game, so they must have done something right. Donkey Kong Country: Returns is also the best selling non-bundled Donkey Kong Country game. 

Prime is the best selling because people thought it was going to be a Halo like shooter it's only when they purchased it and played it when they realised it was completely different this is why the is a large drop in sales between Prime and Echoes and why Corruption was more shooter like in comparison.

Bollocks, the game was never advertised as a Halo-like shooter. 

There's also a huge drop between Metroid and Super Metroid or Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. It doesn't really mean anything.
