As for Metroid, not a single game in that series has been a major system-seller, because it's never been a massive mainstream series. Here's what I've been able to find for their debut month sales in the U.S.:

Metroid Prime: 363,389
Metroid Fusion: 199,723
Zero Mission: 151,807
Prime 2: 192,332
Prime 3: 218,100
Other M: 173,000

Metroid Dread to break the curse? Shipments in France Day one are 124k. US could be well over 700k,. Week 1 could top 500k imo

There is Mario Party Superstars as well, but not sure what, if any, impact it will have.

Then there are some smaller titles as well such as Fatal frame, advance war among others.

I think BF deals and Christmas deals will be key in determining if 202q will beat 2020.

Either way. Finishing within 5-10% should be seen as a huge win without a "pro" model or official price cut.

Agreed w/ bolded. The software lineup, while a bit better than last year, doesn't contain any proven system-sellers (in the "causes growth" sense). If the OLED doesn't drive October to some kind of new record for Nintendo, then the holidays outperforming last year could very well come down to what kind of big sales they have.

Possibly. France is much more Nintendo-friendly than other markets, though, and Metroid could be relatively much more popular there than in a lot of other places. Do we have sales figures of past Metroid titles there?

Not that I can see, but maybe this can be useful for you....

Day 1 shipments

WarioWare Get It Together! - 70.000

Metroid Dread - 120.000 Metroid Dread (LE) - 4.000

Mario Party Superstars - 350.000

Shin Megami Tensei V - 40.000

Game & Watch Zelda - 65.000

Advance Wars 1+2 - 30.000

Anyone have numbers to see how Switch is doing YoY?
I know we dont have exact numbers but curious how its comparing based on the rough estimates that we have.

As July, it's slightly up YoY.
