BEST SELLING METROIDVANIA?
36“before watching, it’s important to understand that on the best of days finding official sales data is difficult. There are some publicly traded companies like Nintendo that might officially releasing sales information during a quarterly earnings report or you might get an official statement from the development studio announcing a sales milestone. Both of these options are few and far between and even in these “best case scenarios”, there is usually large gaps of time between these official statements, which means that sometimes we can extrapolate based on trajectory and popularity. These are by no means concrete numbers, but it can be fun to take what information we know and create some educated conclusions”
With Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown taking the series in to the “premium” Metroidvania genre, it got me thinking: What is the best selling Metroidvania of all time?
It also made me wonder about the sales expectations that Ubisoft might have for the return of the series?
