How important is MetroidPrime 3 for Nintendo to counter Microsoft in USA?

QFT. As it is now the Halo3 crowd isn't exactly what Nintendo is aiming for.

 

People who like Halo 3 aren't a part of everybody? Nintendo might have been concentrating their PR talk on getting your and my mom to play, but there's still loads of titles coming up for us "hardcore" gamers.

As for Halo vs Metroid, they're totally different genres, doubly so now that no multiplayer is confirmed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see a great FPS with great online on the Wii though.

 Badly writen of me, but I doubt that the FPS crowd that wants Halo will buy a Wii just because of Metroid. It is two different genres that you pointed out. Metroid is according to me just a game to get the old school N-fans to continue to support the company.
