Launch for Prime has been worse than for Dread, which is a bit strange since the common sense is 3D games have broader appeal compared to 2D game

My guess is people want to play it on Switch 2, and since there is a higher barrier entry (it's a brand new console), then many people will wait a few years/months until they can buy the console and play Metroid in the best possible hardware 

It will all comes down to WOM. If WOM is good, legs will be good and 5, 6 and even 7 million is possible 

If WOM is weak, it will sell less than Dread. Maybe 2 to 3 million 

Also I wouldn't be surprised if it actually sold considerably more than Dread on its first week considering the higher digital ratio we have nowadays

Nah, the math just doesn't work. It'd have to be a gigantic shift. If Dread had a 20% digital ratio for example then Prime 4 would have to have 50% digital ratio to just match it. That kind of change doesn't happen in just 4 years.
