To everyone saying Okami Wii flopped:

It sold 150k on PS2, which has an installed base of what, 130 million?

It sold 280k -almost twice as much- on Wii, with an installed base of around 50 million, and is still selling. And it was a two-year old port.

Still:

 

Okami was a port of a 2 y/o game.

 

We want big games. Not late to the party ports. That´s why okami on the wii sold only 230k (which, even being two times what sold on the PS2, still some pretty low numbers)

I know, I'm not denying it was a port of that Wii gets treated like crappy shit by 3rd parties, 'cos it does.

I was just making a point to people who complain all the time that Wii can't sell software, and act like PS2 was the second coming of Christ and superior in every way. There's a lot of that nonsense doing the rounds, but the fact of the matter is that while Wii gets a lot of crappy games, the good ones do sell. Okami was niche and therefore didn't sell well on PS2. Same goes for Wii, it's a niche game and would never sell well, BUT, it did sell twice as much on an install base less than half the size.
