Keep in mind Super Metroid is probably the highest rated and adored Metroid game to date... Which was a 2D only title.. And that outsold Metroid Prime 2 and 3.
The 2D metroids have historically done just as well, if not better than the 3D titles.

Metroid Prime Remastered only pushed 1.5~ million units on Switch, which is a solid undertaking for a remaster.

Come on. It's silly to bring up a game from 30 years ago, at a time and on a platform where almost all games were 2d, to say that Metroid Prime 4 wouldn't have more appeal than Dread today due to it being 3d. No being a 2d game on the SNES did not hurt your sales.

It's not silly. Because even today I would argue Super Metroid is a far better game than the Prime titles... There is a reason why I keep going back to Super Metroid 30 years later and not the prime games... Super Metroid is one of those amazing games that have stood the test of time and aged wonderfully.
