Outside of hardware, Nintendo noted that Metroid Dread — which launched alongside the OLED Switch on October 8th — sold 854,000 units in the US, making it "the best start for any Metroid game ever," according to Bowser.

Happy for Metroid. Maybe competes for #1 if we include digital.
Dread would've been no.2 if digital sales were counted.

Nintendo needs to relax!
I find it kind of interesting given that it is on gamepass for one platform. Admittedly we don't have any actual numbers but quite interesting nevertheless.

You forgot BOTW, that game was released in March 2017

Indeed. That's the one that always surprises me the most. Zelda never had this kind of staying power before. Or sold anywhere close to BOTW.

It'll have to keep it up for a while if it wants to break away from the other games in the series. Metroid Prime did well in its first month too.

For a comparison, Prime did 363,000 in its first month.

But if you figure in the popularity & success of the two systems + Dread launching with the OLED, it's not that impressive. At least not yet.

Selling over twice as much as the most popular Metroid is very impressive.
Prime did 3 million lifetime and was #1 in the series. So that would be a very healthy 5-10 million copies for Dread lifetime if we were to extrapolate the numbers

Not when you have 4 times as many users in an era where gaming is a lot more popular and launched with a system upgrade.

I contributed this month. Sorry...Kontributed.
You can't do that kind of math here since Metroid is a special case for Nintendo game.
Metroid Other M on Wii(101M) flopped so hard while Prime on GCN(21M) succeeded

Doesn't that bode even more well for Dread (nearly 100 million Switch userbase and growing?) way more visibility and solid word of mouth in the age of the internet?
Its legs should be great.

Glad to see Dread do well
need more of Nintendo’s more “hardcore” games do well vs their casual offerings so we get more of these in the future

I think knowing the reasons behind a success doesn't take away from its impressiveness.

854k in the U.S., 100k or so in Japan, maybe something like 300-500k in Europe, combined with the other regions, Dread might be sitting at 1.4 or 1.5 million worldwide. Maybe.
With the holidays, I can see Dread crossing 2 million before 2023. Hopefully. Who knows how the legs are gonna be on that one.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I really don't think so..The PS4 hasn't done that, no console has done that.

Dread beat Guardians of Galaxy even though it released on every system in existence. Geez.

That 854 doesn't include digital either. I don't think any of these numbers do correct?
I know I bought it digitally, so ...

The 854k figure likely does include digital since that number came directly from Nintendo. The sales figures outside of the US do not include digital.
