NPD: Metroid Dread has franchise’s best U.S. launch month

Nintendo stated Metroid sold over 850k units in the US for October. This is over twice as much as the previous best selling Metroid game, Metroid Prime. With just the US alone Metroid Dread has outsold around half of all Metroid games total. When you factor in the rest of NA + Japan and Europe it is highly likely that Metroid Dread has outsold every Metroid game aside from the original and Metroid Prime. That’s in one month.

I’m very glad Metroid is doing well.
