Dude, Okami may not have done very well on the PS2, but it did worse on the Wii. In the end, sales come down to userbase. Message | Report |

A couple hours in and I'm loving this game. Though the initial opening was slow. Don't get me wrong I love for a game to have a great storyline, but I prefer if it is more broken down into pieces instead of like reading a book at the beginning of the game. After the opening this game is very surprisingly fun. The Z button definitely helps with drawing straight lines. Message | Report |

I suppose next its going to be that they were proving the Wii had bad sales because of Zack and Wiki. Capcom isn't going to just outright quit making games for the best selling console. They need to make games and market them correctly Not every game can sell like the port of RE4 did or games like Carnival Games. Which by the way I see commercials for that game all the time...and surprise its sales have boosted and started to show legs Message | Report |

Onimusha...where is the link showing the quotes of the Capcom execs stating they were testing Wii sales based on these games, sounds like bullshit to me. They didn't expect Okami to sell well, there was no advertising behind it other than ads on video game websites - they even said they weren't going to advertise it on TV. I've heard these comments before "Capcom is testing the water" I haven't seen anything backing up those statements other than peoples speculations. Message | Report |

I think it's a matter of opinion. This game is the definitive version. Especially since most people who disagree didn't even realize you can hold z to make the game draw a straight line. I think their opinion is pretty meaningless. I played through the PS2 game when it first launched and have to say the controls are more natural and better on the Wii as are the graphics in 480p and true widescreen for the first time. As for the credits I agree but find it to be a pretty minor thing. Message | Report |

This port sadly get's what it deserves. If you're going to release a port of a game two years after the original that isn't the definitive version then what incentive is there to buy that version? There's no reason they couldn't have offered an alternate control scheme using the Classic Controller or included the credits. Instead of offering what the PS2 version had and more this port merely just offered a compromise. Capcom made the right choice in choosing Okami to try and prove games don't sell on the Wii. I'm sure they were a bit miff'd to see Umbrella Chronicles do so well (notice how they said Umbrella Chronicles was going to be the final test for the Wii, then after its success suddenly the said, oh Okami is the next test).

I can complain about 90,000 copies because its sales are dropping fast, without good legs this game isn't going any where. And its sad because its such an amazing game and its a game that deserves to be franchised. But it doesn't matter anyways - I'm not sure if I'd want Ready at Dawn to make a sequel to this since the original creators moved on to make Platinum Games and team with Sega Message | Report |

What is with all of these "Is it going to sell?" questions? Of course it's going to sell well! For example, let's take a recently released Wii game expected to be a sales disaster... No More Heroes 40,000 First Week 260,000 LTD M Rated $49.99 Okami ????? T Rated $39.99 And Okami is a known commodity upon release since it is a port. And the reviews (as the box art is quick to point out) are overwhelmingly positive. My estimates... 65,000 First Week US 300k US 230k UK 170k Japan Somewhere between 700k and 1 million for it's lifetime depending on how strong the legs/word of mouth is amongst gamers.
