However, if I recall from experience, he tends to speak a bit out of his elements -- making statements which don't always add up. And he is not, shall we say, seemingly the biggest supporter of the Wii. In a quick search, I can only find initial sales for the title: Nov. 2007 NPD of 35k and Oct. 2007 first week Japan from Famitsu of 10K. The question is this. Does anyone know if Capcom lists software sales in its reports. That should answer all questions. Mike from Morgantown |

I thought that Capcom themselves posted 300K sold Z&W copies in their quarterly financial results report for Q3 2007 already. With another year of evergreen sales since then, including another christmas season, were Z&W was relaunched in the mid-price range."

"Remember, we ship to retail. It then sits on shelves until you buy it. We don't sell MORE to retail unless something is selling well enough to have that retailer believe that keeping that SKU active (reordering) is a better use of their limited shelf space than bringing in something new to replace it as it sells down.
So sure, we were selling through to consumers during the holiday, but not necessarily shipping MORE to retail during that period (which is how we get paid/rack up more units)."
