Is Metroid Prime 4 in trouble?

I don't think people get how hard it is to be a multimillion seller on a 6month old, sub 20m audience in less than a month lol.

Even though S2 is selling great I really doubt the entire core audience has all jumped on board when there's been a lack of compelling exclusives. If Metroid see's growth it's also going to be reflected in legs. Gotta wait to see how things pan out.

Remember, prime 4 is on Switch 1 as well. It has a huge audience to sell to. Far bigger than Dread had.

Yes but people are choosing to get it disproportionately for for S2. No.16 this week in the UK charts and 80% for Switch 2 (worth noting it also jumped up in position from 29)... So Switch 2 is central to its success and future audience. I haven't bought the game yet but I wouldn't get it for S1 if I know I'm getting a S2 soon

Also inactive end of life audience <<< active peak sales audience. And dread released during the Switches peak with hardware bundles.
