    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).

    While probably true, it’s not like I can trust Guinness World Records on this.

    The people that own Lara Croft really try to market the franchise constantly in anyway they can. Maybe the UK in general. Like when that British awards group awarded Lara Croft as the world's most famous female video game character and the rest of the world was confused but understood the home cooked voting. Guinness world records don't excite like they used to once the book stopped being relevant because of the internet and the steady stream of things being announced as a guiness world record
