Ds games are dying ? with no new big releases

I don't know if Capcom will support it with a good advertising campaign . and I beleive that there is no similarity what so ever between nintendogs & Okami, Maybe it will go to a big customer base (DS still trails PS2 till date)

80,000 is a good start maybe it will still make the No's of the original

I doubt it will make 1 M

80,000 isn't even 10% of 1million...

Piracy, piracy, piracy!

You reckon? Maybe, but I can't see it stealing *too* many sales...

I see Okamiden doing 500k, tops.  Sad, but it's just too late in the cycle... a game like this in 2008 could've been HUGE though.

Maybe, but the Layton series still sells well, as did DQIX. Anything can always happen when nintendo is involved...

Nintendo's not publishing Okamiden though.  Layton and DQIX were successes largely because Nintendo handled them directly, and Nintendo knows how to sell games.

Hmm...I think this would be the case. Sadly it is.

Woah that makes no sense. BUT, do you think it'd sell a million if it was a 3DS launch game?

Well, it'd have a much better chance on 3DS, certainly.  But then the game would also probably end up pretty different design (and cost) wise.

Actually, I wouldn't mind a regular Okami port for 3DS.



One million? If this game manages to sell 350k - 400k units Capcom can consider fortunate.

After an encouraging opening in Japan (84,472 units sold) the game dropped like a rock showing no sign of legs. Its current sales are around 100k - 105k, pretty disappointing. Unless a miracle happens Okamiden will be sent to death in the west.

My projection:

Japan --- 125k (best price edition 70k)

US --- 150k

Europe --- 80k

Worldwide --- 425k
