The original Metroid Prime sold 1.92 Million units in North America in its lifetime ...

Metroid Prime 2 didn't sell as well but was released in November 2004 directly against World of Warcraft, Metal Gear Solid 3, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Half Life 2 and Halo 2.

Lifetime I expect Metroid Prime 3 to outperform Metroid Prime so by the end of 2007 it will be approaching 1.5 to 2 Million games sold in North America.


Agreed.

lifetime it will easily break 2 million.

Sort of funny (and sad) that it will almost certainly be outsold by Mario Party 8...

Here, this is what I think it's going to happen. You can remember this:

Launch Week: 145,000

End of September: 422,000

End of Year: 550,000

I'm fairly positive about my prediction for the launch week and for the end of September, not really sure about the end of the year. We'll see, I guess.

If it controls smoother than RE4, First Week 200k (Supply) second week 98, third week 50, 25k for the next weeks till 2 weeks before christmas, than 50k again, then 40k, then 5-7k for a long while. For NA.

If the Japanese version has tentacle monsters: I'm importing. But sales will be about half of North America by the end, though I suck at predicting purchasing patterns.



See Ya George.

superchunk on 03 August 2007

Well, this one is kinda different. It should be a great game that proves FPS on Wii, however, it is a franchise that is really part of Nintendo Hardcore owners lists. Not the casual Nintendo people's. So...

I think it will fare better than MP2 as it will be hyped much better.

200k week one (obviously NA only)

Some of you are a little optimistic. Metroid is a big game, sure, but it has a LOT of competition in August, as shown in this beautiful thread...

This will likely get me slaughtered, but August will be a 360 month. Everyone will buy Madden and Bioshock, no one will have money left for Corruption. I'd put it at...

110-120k first week...

550k by end of September...
