Reggie Fils-Aime, the executive arm of Nintendo of America, believes in the future of the Metroid franchise despite its latest installment, Metroid Other M, has not met the expectations of the company's Japan sales.

Fils-Aime downplays these mixed results with some interesting statements: "We will not discuss these bad results, not during Christmas. Let's think hard about why we have not reached one million copies. I think the marketing was very strong , very good advertising. "

And on the future of the series in the form of developing new supplies, the leader of Nintendo of America is clear: "I hope so. I am a passionate fan of Samus and the Metroid series"
