You do know the highest selling Metroid game only sold 2.83m....

Yeah, because sell 2.8 millions is bad.

Aside from the fact that Metroid Prime 1 sold 2.83, which is what he meant, why do you assume 1.43 million is a problem? That still puts it in the top 20 of the Wii's library. And unless the game cost about $40-$50 million to make, I think it's turned a healthy profit.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Yes, so what?

 It hasn't actually done that. The OP is just making up easily disproven lies to try and troll the Nintendo forums.

 

1.43 million times 4 is 5.72. Wii Fit sold 5.73 million.

And all of you, STOP REPLYING TO THAT TROLL.

 This is correct. Wii Fit has not sold 400% more than Metroid Prime 3. It has 400% of the sales, but not 400% more. People should not use percentages if they have no idea what they actually mean.

MP3 was easily outsold by SMG, SSBB, Zelda:TP and many others and it will be outsold by many games to come.

I don't care if the OP is a lie or if Wii Fit will outsell MP3 some day by 400, 500 or 1000%. I like MP3 more than Wii Fit, but I know at least 5 people who love Wii Fit and play it every day, but they have never heard about Metroid Prime.

I still say: So what? I wouldn't call the OP trolling, it's just another redundant discussion.

Most Nintendo games are good, some are outstanding and Wii Fit won't kill the traditional titles.

Why don't you take a look at the VG chartz numbers before you blow hot air around the room and make us all hot.

Another point I'd like to make is that Smash Brothers is one of the most casual Fighters of all time and that mario and Zelda games are always amazing. But they come out once every 5 years.

I did check them which is how I know your original assertion is wrong. I suppose it might be that you don't understand elementary math and actually think Wii Fit has outsold Metroid Prime 3 by 400%. Either way this topic is dumb, and your thread title is dead wrong.

Hint: if game A sells 1 copy, and game B sells 1 copy then game B ousold game A by 0%.

 

I’m glad you made it through 3rd grade. So I guess we can do the Math together now., ready?

Wii fit sales= 5.73 million

Metroid Prime 3 sales= 1.43 million

5.73/1.43= 4.007

That means that 4 copies of Wii fit have been sold for every copy of Metroid Prime 3.  Not 1 per every 1 as you suggest.

 

I guess trolling=telling the truth to you too huh?

 



^ Then your grammer is wrong, because you said "outsold" rather than "sold". You should have just used the phrase" Wii Fit sold 4 times more than Metroid Prime 3".

Wow, 1.5 that's better than I thought, PS3 only has 8 games to outsell that... MS has 24, Nintendo 17.

 

People say you're a Sony fan boy, but I knew you were really just pretending.

 

I've owned 10 nintendo Consoles to my 1 Sony console. All of you who call people trolls and fanboys because they have different opinions then you or state facts that hurt your feelings or rat people out with reporting to brownose mods can go on and continuue living your lies. I'd rather be banned for telling the truth then go on liviing and feeding lies and BS. Thanks.

 I never suggested that they sold the same. Lets do the 3rd grade math shall we. Game A has sold 2 copies. Game B has sold 1 copy. By what percentage did Game A outsell Game B? Correct answer is 100%. Now if Game A has sold 4 copies, and Game B has sold 1 still then what percentage did Game A outsell Game B? Correct answer 300%.

 Your thread title is dead wrong, and you don't even understand elementary math. This people, is how you troll a troll.

See me and this guy disagree more often then not and yet we can have a civil discourse. You are correct Sc94597. But the heart of the matter is that casual games are vastly outselling core games on Wii so don't be surprised that that is Nintendos focus.

 

And yes Smash Brothers and Animal Crossing are casual.

 



@Leetgeek Actually that isn't an opinion in the OP rather than a collection of false statements without any real evidence to back them up. Also please tell me these 10 nintendo consoles. After counting up Nintendo consoles I count Nes, Snes, Virtual Boy, N64, Gamecube, Gb, Gba, Ds, and WIi.You already mentioned you don't own a wii, and I don't expect you to own a DS. So that leaves only 8 consoles left.

This thread may win for epic lulz.
