Tomb raider was never limited to a console family. Metroid is only on Nintendo devices. And even Metroid was never a phenomenon like tomb raider was in the 90s. Tomb raider also had a big revival with the modern trilogy on PC and consoles. And now the remastered classic games too.

The only Metroid I remember having any real hype was prime, and that was on the least popular console of that generation (of the big 3).
