Man...there is some serious negativity in this thread over mostly nothing.
Metroid Prime 4 will sell at least 2 million and likely 3 million as MZuzek stated. It's likely it will sell even more if it's a great game.
Samus Returns was on a handheld system and was a remake of one of the most non-Metroid games ever made. It's just not a great sample to guage the popularity of the series.
I think Metroid has gained plenty of fans in no small part due to Smash Bros and the decent rise of the Metroidvania genre as a whole. A proper 2D Metroid title on the Switch with the scope of Super Metroid will sell like crazy, particularly if they incorporate a ghosting feature for speed runs. A pallette swap to downgrade it to NES levels (like they did for Mario Maker) would also be great for the true die hard retro gamers. If the title has cross functionality with Metroid Prime 4 then the attach rate between the two will be insane.
Here's to positive thoughts on the series and its potential going forward.
