Forums - Sales - Metroid: Other M sales predictions thread

Well, I expected Japan to shun it, but EMEAA?  Still, I think America can make up a good portion of the sales and hopefully see it cross a million worldwide. 

Still a bomb though - didn't think it'd do that poorly.

Hopefully Metroid can be made relavent again because it's one of my fav series.

Second week in Japan saw a major drop-off - its second week in Japan is actually lower than Corruption's was. Likely will not see any meaningful legs in that territory.



This game is an epic failure both quality wise and sales wise. Nintendo bet on the wrong horse this time. This game is just not good enough and is a big letdown compared to what people expected.

If the game was AAA game it would have sold way more. Now the Metroid franchise is weaker than ever. I hope this is the last time Nintendo work with the team Ninja. They ruined Metroid.

Team Ninja did not ruin Metroid.

I agree. I think Sakamoto ruined Metroid.

 

Yeah, I know you may hate me. Still, some people feel that way now. I do, and I think Other M will weaken the performance of future Metroid games due to the bad word of mouth spreading. I do hope I'm wrong, since I like the franchise.

I work in gamestation in UK and this game has been sellign like CRAP. We still have our launch shipments.

Wow, why are people NOT buying this game? anyway, with a little luck it will have some legs and get a Holiday push therefore reach a Million Worldwide.

So you dislike Metroid: Other M?!? The controls are accessible and Metroid: Other M retains the Metroid essence. In my opinion Metroid: Other M is as good or even better than Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. But you can't please everyone.  



Ugh, it's doing terrible.  At this point, I think it'll just match Corruption. :/

It's losing momentum faster than Corruption did after launching around the same time in the year (I think). Don't hold your breath.
