I mean granted, Metroid is a niche series and Prime is a remaster of a 20 year old game, but still, they really should have given it a proper push instead of sending it out with hardly a mention and limited physical copies.

Metroid is like Bloodborne , as in the internet discourse around it would make you think its one of the bestsellers, but it has always been pretty much a passion project for Nintendo, as far as Return on Investment is concerned. 

I know it's relatively niche as a series, but still, given Dread managed nearly 3 million in it's first six months, I reckon Prime could've done better than this if they'd actually given it a marketing push.

Mind you, a million in less than two months is not bad, I just think it could've sold more.
