So you are agreeing with me is all 3ds games (good or bad) sold OK like Samus Return. That is what i mean to Snoorlax by using some examples, if all of them are fine, so is Metroid. But yeah, Snoorlax said Metroid Samus Return should sold a lot more on 70 mil user base and Prime 4 can't sell 1 mil. All games last year have fine sales, so why count out Metroid? I feel you are not really understand my intention

My problem with your comments was that like many others, you seem to bu suggesting that support for the 3DS should be dropped entirely in favor of the Switch. I don't share that sentiment, I believe that it might not be a good time to put new IPs on it, but if you use renowed IPs like Zelda, Mario, Kirby, Fire Emblem and so on as more than simply cash grab minigames with zero effort, the games will still sell lots. The only thing I agree with in Snoorlax comments was about Metroid Prime Trilogy failing, there really is no other way to look at its sales. Using that and Samus Returns to project future sales of new entries? Nah.

 

No, 3ds no need to be dropped entirely , both 3ds and Switch can co-exist together, i own both so which system have the game is fine to me. I use many 3ds games sales last year to show if Metroid sell around 500.000 is bad then all 3ds games last year sold bad too, but sales of all games are acceptable then so is Metroid. Metroid Prime Trilogy failing, i'm not sure about the exact reason but one of them is Metroid 1 & 2 were on GC and Wii was backward compatible with GC games and controls. Many gamers also dislike motion control so after they bough Prime 3, they have no reason to repurchase 1 & 2 with motion control. But i can agree with Snoorlax one thing: low sales is what make people have to wait a quite long time for a new proper Metroid game
