Nintendo: Metroid Other M needs to break 1.5-2 million copies sold

Metroid Other M to sell atleast 1.5 - 2 million units? That's exactly what Nintendo wants from the title as stated by Reggie Fils Aime.

That actually seems likely, although does Reggie not know the Prime series did well for itself?

[qface64]

this game is gonna sell well past the 1.5 million mark no doubt about that
prime 3 did great and this one in my opinion looks better that prime

actually 1.5 million is a small number for an established nintendo game

Prime did well, but not for Prime 2 nor 3:/

[Syronicus]

I can see it hitting at least 2.5 int he first year. I know I will be one of those buying it.

In a recent video interview with Gamespot, president of NOA (Nintendo North America), Reggie Fils-Aime states that “Metroid is a key franchise, and in our view really since the Snes Metroid, we havent broken through in terms of 1.5 - 2 millions units. Thats our bar. Thats the scale that we look at to say on a global basis this is effective.”

Does effective = profitable?

I wonder how 'effective' AAA titles have to be on the 360 and/or PS3?

Just wanted to correct one thing . NOA Nintendo of America. Not Nintendo North America.

I like Reggie Fils-aimé. He's from Haitian decent like me.
No needs to worry Reggie I'll be buying the game and I know multiple others will also. this is Metroid we're talking about!

ps: marius its me.

im sure this game can do those numbers, since its by team ninja its sure to be a good game :)

[G4drake]

it will sell well, i think it WILL sell more than 2.5 million copies

[Rocco]

Metroid Prime sold 2.8 million
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption sold 1.5 million
Metroid Fusion sold 1.5 million

[PS360WII]

Go Metriod go! :)

I think it's likely to reach that goal.

[shysun]

It will no doubt.

[Shnazzyone]

This will easily break 2 mill worldwide. C'mon... it's friggin metroid man!

[jeffwjr]

has anyone seen the uk wii site by nintendo look at all the god stuff they get for registering their games they can even trade the crappy points for wii points what a load of crap why do we get stuff like game cases and decks of cards this is bs

[NateNater]

Metroid could easily break that amount. It just depends on how good Nintendo does the game!

[JJFNIGHTS80]

If Metroid was a M rated game I'll buy it.
