Under 20 million. The people who will buy Metroid Prime 4 will buy it because they are already Metroid fans. There isn't enough ROI to merit dumping piles of money on it.

So Nintendo shouldn't try to expand that fanbase for the next and future Metroid games? Only cater to the already existing fans?

They certainly should. They just shouldn't dump a ton of money on it.
