If I had to guess why sales are pretty minimal, I'd have to say that it's because it released during the summer when school was about to start (I got this game one day before college); very few people would actually feel wanting to go out and buy a game during this time, one of the most important times of the year that require a ton of money for supplies or, in some cases, courses.

I see sales picking up for the holiday and remaining fairly consistent until spring. Although, it might not become the best selling Metroid Prime game, but then again, what do I know?

I imagine it'll pick up a lot more sales in the coming months (maybe years?)

The thing is you see this statement more and more: "hey guys I just got a Wii, what games should I buy?" A lot of people who want a Wii still can't find one. Out of my group of 10+ friends only 2 of us have one out of the 8 or 9 that want one.

Metroid Prime 3 will be near the top of the must buy list for any Wii owner who was either had a Cube or is curious what all the hubub of Metroid is all about. Needless to say, when I got this game and played the next 2 games I bought were Prime 1 and 2.

And in spite of all the "NINTENDO IS JUST KIDS STUFF, IT NEEDS MORE MATURE GAMES, ADULTS LIKE ME (I'M 15 BTW!!!!) ONLY WANT HARDCORE GAMES" you hear, the system is turning a lot more hardcore gamer heads than your average socially retarded virgin who isn't even of drinking age would like you to believe.

This game is going to sell steadily over a period of 12-24 months. It won't wow anyone week to week but when all is said and done I think sales will be impressive.

Metroid has never really sold all that well.

I mean, Metroid is more than 21 years old, and the entire franchise has already been outsold by Nintendogs.

It's a great series but it's unclear to who it appeals to. Gamers, I guess.

i think the most of wii users are casual gamers and they don't want to buy this kind of games.

But hope that the wii will be used by more hardocore gamers in 08 because of new hardore games release,like tomb raider,MOH heroes 2,battalion wars2 and others

i'm sure the weakly metroid prime 3 sales will grow when the games price cut and the game officially release in europe

Someone actually bothered to make four new accounts just to troll the comments of this game? O_o

I'll only pass judgement on its quality only after I've played it (EU release in one week), but so far it seems extremely promising. Sales look like they'll end up between those of the first and second parts, unfortunately.

This game has sold one tenth as many copies as Halo 3.

This is the nail in the coffin that metroid is absolutely nowhere near as popular as Halo, Mario, or Zelda. Metroid is a game that sells 1 million and 2 million if lucky, despite how much Retro improved the formula with the phenomenal Prime 1.

This game will be lucky to pass 1 million.

Sales are dissapointing because the game isn't that great. dont get me wrong its good if you only have a wii but if you also own a 360 there are better games to be purchased.

This game is far superior to any current generation First Person game. It is amazing and deserves far more credit for pushing the genre than it has been given.

Honestly to say sorry folks yall can kill me but after Goldeneye I was sucked into Half Life/ Counter Strike and Unreal Tournament games. All these other First Person shooter games are just average compared to these three.

BUT when this fricken game came out I played it in the NINTENDO WORLD store here in manhattan. LUCKILY I bought a Wii and this game lol. Even with an Aurora based alienware computer, this game has nice Unique Artistry. Let alone the control is a wonder.... I stopped playing home consoles because of the controllers. But this wii thing, is going to make a difference with First person based games. It's not even funny. This game right here says alot of whats to come....

The screens dont make justice to how look the game really looks when its running. Great game, a must have for any gamer. If you need a reason to buy a Wii (and why havent you got one in the first place?) then this is one of the huge ones!

(9.5/10)

PS- I'll give a Wii game a perfect score when it implements Gorgeous graphics (ala Mario Galaxy or beyond), normal mapping, self-shadowing, and real time lighting all in the same game (that would actually look pretty good. I mean, if metroid has been called a true "next-gen" experience with those looks and controls, imagine a game that would include all this techniques!) I think it would come decently close to a 2nd batch 360 visuals.

It took me about 4 hours to find a complaint about the controls: Charge shot doesn't home in.

That's a testament to how awesome the control scheme is.

A truly beautiful spectacle of the Wii experience and further proof the Wii is not only a strong core gaming experience but has the potential for a strong hardcore experience as well with the best FPS controls since the mouse and keyboard.

Yes, it is really sad that the rating system is overabused. I would AT LEAST try the game before rating it, but that's probably too obvious for some people. =/

I'll probably post a review sometime, it will depend if I find some spare time but for now it's a 9.5+ for sure from me!

This is a high-profile game that most Nintendo fans are highly interested in, and was just released. Of course anti-Nintendo fanboys are going to pan it.

It still gets a 10 from me.

The strongest point I'd like to point out about this game aside from the flawless controls and stellar graphics is the seemless playthrough. Unlike past Primes, you have multiple ways to travel to different worlds and areas, mostly being able to call in your ship at several points, unlike before, where your ship had one docking spot throughout the whole game. I just love how it's easier to get around.

An extremely polished conclusion to the Prime trilogy. Any Metroid fan or Sci-Fi/shooter/adventure fan should definitely buy this game. The last five hours of this game some of the best time in a video game in years! Fantastic game, 9.8/10.

Best game in the Prime series. Controls are the best of any fps (yea i know fpa) and best looking Wii game to date.

This is the best Wii game to date, and IMO the first true "Rich Wii Experience." The controls are absolutely flawless and beautiful, and they really suck you into the game. Combine that with the same level of polish and attention to detail as the other Metroid Prime games, and you get a completely amazing game.

People who are blaming Japan for this game's underwhelming sales.
a) Europe not only picked up the slack, but added .1 to it.
b) What happened to the extra 1 million people in North America who bought Prime 1?
