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.

I can see your point.

Specially when you say that "theres a lot of nonsense doing the rounds"

 

You know what really gets me mad about this nonsense doing the rounds?

 

Its the fact that the primary reason for the so called "3rd party games dont sell on the wii" talk is simple that 3rd party dont put any money on the wii.

They dont release big games on the system. They dont advertise it properly. They just push out of their huge corporate vaginas an abortion made by a 5 people team, pray it sells 1mil and complain when it dont.

Everybody knows that!!!!

 

Yet, THE GAMING PRESS JUST DONT TALK ABOUT IT!

 

They go "Oh, another hardcore game not selling on the wii! Tsk tsk tsk, we told ya!!"

 

When in reality, there´s no way you sell 5 mil of a big hardcore Wii game if THERE ISNT ANY BIG HARDCORE WII GAME MADE BY 3rd PARTIES
