Switch will affect 3DS sales, that much is obvious, but should Nintendo decide to actually give a damn about what they're releasing in the platform the games can still pull decent numbers. |
Finally someone with common sense.
Some of these guys actually believe that half assed games nobody even cared about in the first place should somehow push good sales because if they don't that PROVES gamers aren't interested in the 3DS anymore and that the 70m+ userbase have all moved on to the Switch in just a couple of months.
While i don't think that SR did decent numbers, it most certaintly did not do bad because of other mediocre games selling low as expected.

Just to be clear, i'm not predicting MP4 will do bad numbers based on Trilogy and SR's sales numbers. What i'm saying is that this attitude where fans are okay with Metroid underperforming will get the series nowhere. There is a reason we didn't get a new Metroid game in 5 years. (7 if we ignore Fed Force)
I realistically expect MP4 to do at least 1m which is not great but the norm for most Metroid Prime games. Prime Trilogy didn't even reach that mark on a (at the time) 70m - 80m install base and for a package of three triple A games that's just not good, sorry.
