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 |
Well, you kinda tried to downplay the sales of other 3DS games without looking to the context in our discussion, it's easy to get the wrong idea from that. 3DS doesn't need to be dropped at all, what it needs is actual support from Nintendo, unlike what happened in 2017.
Metroid Prime is an anomaly among Nintendo's IPs, they don't have anything else similar to it and is one of their few game that can actually attract non-Nintendo gamers, the marketing push that the company is willing to give the game will be crucial for its sales. Living in a country where Nintendo is almost a non-existent now, I can't tell how it was for Prime Trilogy.
