It looks like the August sales numbers are out for the U.S. While there aren't any surprises as far as hardware goes (Wii sold 400,000+ and DS sold 380,000+), I was pretty surprised to see that Metroid Prime 3 sold 220,000 copies in the four days it was available in August. From IGN's article, MP2 didn't reach that level until it had been on the market for two weeks. I wonder how much of that has to do with MP3 being a good game and how much of it reflects the strong need for a good hardcore game on the Wii? Either way, more sales means more Metroid in the future, which is always a good thing.
