Metroid: Other M reaches one million sales

It took seventeen months, but it finally made it. Metroid: Other M has finally surpassed the one million global sales mark. The most controversial Metroid game to date has had a bumpy ride, with divided opinions from fans and critics. Sales for the game started off well, with just under 250,000 copies sold globally in the very first week of release, and just over 480,000 total sales in ten weeks. But sales began to drop as the months went by, and so did the price. Stores such as Best Buy were selling the game at one point for as little as $4.99! Due to the holiday period, sales of the game have risen dramatically and helped the game reach its total.

Even though it’s likely that Nintendo have lost money on the release of this game, it’s nice to know that there are so many copies out there, and due to the low price, people have given the game a chance and potentially enjoyed the experience. Congratulations Metroid: Other M! In this case, the “M” stands for million!

For all the criticisms I could rightfully level at Metroid: Other M, it was still fun. That's more than I can say for some other games I've played.

Metroid: Other M didn't really evoke the feelings of 2D Metroid that it was trying to, but in gameplay it was still a solid and interesting experience. My severe falling out with other Nintendo titles may have enhanced my negative impressions in a way I did not enjoy, although the game's story is still severely flawed. Let's hope Nintendo responds to this appropriately, and buries their mistakes with stronger Metroid installments in the future.

Still, the game is superior to many other title's I've played in recent times, and not nearly as large a disappointment as others. I'm glad it's been given a chance by so many players.

And damnit, I want a proper sequel to clean up the mess Fusion made.
