Taken from Capcom's Vice-President of Strategic Planning & Business Development:
"It did not sell 500K units or anywhere near it. I still don't understand where you're getting 500K.
To the best of my knowledge, the 300K figure quoted by IR included European orders from Nintendo who published the title on our behalf in that territory. Nor did it do the volume it did do at anywhere near frontline pricing (in the US anyway).
And what you think was a cheap game to make, wasn't. Great games almost never are."
This statement was a confirmation of what Capcom's Product Manager said at Gamedaily:
"The games business is filled with titles that people love that simply did not make money: Viewtiful Joe. Okami. Zack and Wiki."
