Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Official: Okami (Wii) exceeded expectations!

BengaBenga on 25 March 2009

Earlier Colin Ferris of Capcom already told us:

As for the Clover IPs, we did just release Okami on the Wii. And it did have some very good success on the Wii. It definitely did well. So we were excited about that. As for revisiting some of them [Clover IPs], you know, I can't rule anything out but we don't have anything planned.

Now Christan Svensson seconds that:

It is moderately successful and has exceeded forecast (slightly, not by some rediculous amount). That is doing well. Did it do a million or a half million units worldwide? Of course not. But it's still a moderate success because of the issues I called out earlier (game quality/managed scope).


So yeah, basically exceeding expectations is always a success, despite low overall numbers.

Indeed it is. Too bad it didn't do the same on PS2... But atleast the IP got increased exposure and they might've recouped some losses from the development of the PS2-version (maybe even gained enough to break even)

that's good to hear. Although Capcom really has to get their PR act straight. Especially Sven since he constantly gives out false statements.



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.

PS2 can't sell core games better than the Wii! PS2 is doomed confirmed!

Yeah, Sven is a real ass most of the time, too.

Makes me embarrassed to be of the same nationality as him (he IS Swedish... right?)

Always great to get this kind of info.

Nice ! It is a great title and good to know that it met expectations.



Khuutra on 25 March 2009

Very nice to hear. I do love it when good games are supported beyond expectations.

Very nice! Okami was one of those gems that will probably be talked about in years to come by gamers.

Nice to hear some backtracking from Sven.

I don't usually like to talk ill of someone -- but he really gets my goat. He seems to be a "snobcore" at heart (if you look at his Wii statements). And his information is often contradictory or later proven to be incorrect.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
