The Metroid series has never been a huge seller: the highest selling game, Metroid Prime, only sold 2.84 million units. With today's announcement of Metroid Dread, it begs the question: could this be the best selling Metroid game so far? Plenty of Nintendo series have sold better on the Switch than ever before, like Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Super Mario Party. With this in mind, could the Switch's massive install base and first party game attach rate lead to Dread being an unprecedented success for the series?
