Metroid Dread's legs continue to chug along.
I recently did some research in Nintendo's other first party titles and found that usually Famitsu's sales data is around 75-80% of Nintendo's shipped + digital figures in Japan.

So if we put those numbers up for Dread and the 128k units it has sold so far:
That gives us these projected shipped + digital numbers:

80% - 160k
75% - 171k

The latter would already put Dread in a tie for the 4th best selling Metroid game in Japan alongside Fusion. The top 3 are still the OG game (1.04m), Super Metroid (710k), and the OG Return of Samus (560k).

Famitsu always shows the sellthrough of the physical shipments here. Metroid Dread has an 80-100% sellthrough.

I would like to know where you got those Super Metroid and Metroid II numbers from. All I found was 500k for Super and 104k for Metroid II.
