| AddRat said: Kind of hard to say how much Dread sold exactly with Nintendo not reporting on stuff that didn't sell a million within the quarter or something but we know that it topped 3m about 1.5-2 years ago so if I am to pull numbers out of my ass, I'd say it should be about 3.5 now, 4m tops (which by the way is pretty great for both Metroid and the genre, I don't know where the NOONE BOUGHT narrative is coming from). |
Yeah, that "no one bought it" narrative is a bit silly, since Metroidvania genre, at least "2D" part, is not really high selling (unlike its 3D counterpart, where there are games that have hit really high numbers).
But, there is also this thing called Hollow Knight that sold more than Metroid Dread (apparently quite a bit more), so maybe folks are just thinking "this shouldn't be happening", since Metroid is the original, and in the very name of the genre.
