The head of GamesIndustry Christopher Dring via Twitter revealed Metroid Dread is already the third best-selling Metroid game ever in the UK.
Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 3 are the only two games in the series to have sold more units. Metroid Dread is also the best-selling 2D Metroid game.
The figure doesn't include digital sales, which has only grown in recent years. It is entirely possible when you include digital sales etroid Dread might have sold more than Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 3.
"Metroid Dread is now the third biggest Metroid game in UK history, behind Metroid Prime and Prime 3," said Dring. "It’s already the UK’s best-selling 2D Metroid. This doesn’t include digital sales, so it’s quite likely it’s now, or will soon be, the No.1 Metroid overall (GfK data)."
