Well Okami has sold as well as it did on the PS2 No More Heroes is Suda 51's best selling game ever Zack and Wiki sold 500,000 copies even though it is part of a genre which hasn't been popular in 15 years Boom Blox was poorly advertized, low budget game that sold 500,000 copies de Blob continues to chug along seeing sales week-after-week and will (likely) pass 500,000 copies sold
Being that many of these games exceeded expectations and have justified sequels due to their profitability maybe it is about time that people start to consider that "success" is something that has to be defined differently for every game.

Your point is valid but it still pains me to see games like Okami failing to attain the sales that they deserve. I guess it has more to do with the decisions of the developers and publishers than the platform that the games are released on.

The game got almost no marketing on either release. It was truly a game only the core gaming community knew about. I got a copy for the PS2, but I'm a core gamer.
