Kirby's popularity never ceases to amaze me.
It's surprising to see any Nintendo property that's not Mario, Zelda, SSB, Mario Kart or Pokemon getting over a million units. Especially when games like Metroid and F-Zero are currently about as successful as Coke Zero.
I'm not saying it's as popular as Wii Sports I'm saying it's currently the switches Wii Sports. The most popular piece id software and the reason people are being the system. It's sales are intimately linked with the switches own as the attach ratio shows.

Luigi's Mansion 2 is 10th best selling 3DS game at 5.31 million.
I'd be surprised if a new one isn't announced in 2018.
I bought the limitedRobobot deserves way more success.
YOU ALL SLEPT ON THE BEST KIRBY GAME IN YEARS
Luigis Mansion Dark Moon is at 5.31 million?! Geez get ready for Luigis Mansion 3 for Switch.
Great numbers, wonder what the "Zelda steady decline/nobody cares anymore/stop living in the past crowd will have to say to BotW surpassing SS in a month. Or when inevitably breaks 10m copies sold.
There is similar buzz during the wii u launch. I think some should keep their expectation's in check.
ls there any data about other 3DS games? l'd love to see where Kid Icarus: Uprising currently sits. Last numbers we got were a long time ago and l think it was around 1 200 000 copies. l doubt it's much higher now but l'd still like to know.

Yes
But on the other hand I think a triple A Metroid FPA game, now in HD!, would sell way beyond that.
Nintendo just got to see the light on why the Wii was the wrong place for more of those and why sales slowed down.
MK8 kinda slowed down, currently at 8.31M units. I believe last quarter it already reached 8M.
Mario Party 10 selling 2 million is the most surprising thing.
Still so powerful.
Nintendo should produce a YouTube channel with just Mario Party Games being played. Monetize the heck out of it. Easy ¥¥¥¥. Just look at those views.

You underestimate Kirby's popularity and Metroid's... lack of. One of these is only popular in one territory while the other is popular around the globe.

I want to see how Xenoblade 2 does. It probably won't sell as much as Odyssey or Splatoon 2, but I hope it can reach over a million.
It effectively is.It would be if it was yearly
"What was the point of Mario Maker on 3DS"
Whilst Metroid has never been a huge seller (in relative terms), I think, with the right game and the right marketing it could become one. It's clearly a quality series and is the closet IP that Nintendo has to AAA games on the other consoles. It's not so different from Halo in terms of tone. I think a good multiplayer mode is the key here. Nintendo has the FPS chops now but Splatoon isn't for everyone, they can put that experience to use in Metroid MP, give dudebros something they can play online without feeling silly and bring back that "Goldeneye" local multiplayer feeling. All on the back of a typically fantastic single player experience (possibly running on a version of the BOTW engine).

wow, in the past year Luigi's Mansion has sold 500,000

Maybe if Nintendo made actual Metroid games like they do with Kirby instead of bizarre experiments no one asked for Metroid would sell better?

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: 3.84 (1.08 Wii U, 2.76 Switch)
The Wii sold what, over 100 million? TP still didn't break 10 million. The GC was more popular than the WiiU too.
I'm not saying it's impossible or even very unlikely at this point, just that it's a really significant number for software sales. Especially since as the year goes on there will be other quality offerings on the system as well.
Really nice Zelda numbers. It should be able to double that lifetime I think. But 10 million is probably still a stretch. That'll need a lot of legs.
I'd actually argue that Splatoon's succes is attributed to the fact that it is, indeed, for everyone. I love Metroid, I'd love a return, but I don't think it being multiplayer focused would even scratch the surface to generate interest in it.

Wait what
what the fuck
Every time I see this it just baffles me. Like, how?! Who?
113 Million views? What the actual fuck!
While I agree that it can get there, the situation you are describing is EXACTLY like Twilight Princess - which was both on the sold-out Wii and the gamecube.I think it can do it. It's important to remember that Zelda is still supply constrained- on the Wii U because nobody owns one, and on the Switch because few people own it yet. In that context these numbers are insane, because they look like normal frontloaded sales. But this obviously isn't a situation where a game is releasing on a console with 60 million plus sales and everyone who wants it can buy it immediately.
Kids. They search for Mario or the YouTube algorithm takes them there from some toy or Skylanders video.
I've been saying this for a long time. Nintendo could make super easy money here if they decided to produce an entire official Nintendo Let's Play channel. That would mean war with all the Youtubers though.
Did my part
The dlc will help, they can also release a complete version down the line
