I'd consider Okami Wii an astounding success, really, seeing how it far, far outsold the PS2 original, which had an install base of what, 120 million when the game came out for it?

I assume it made a profit? Hence the release of the sequel I suppose.

I have no idea, but I'm assuming it must have. Probably not the PS2 version alone, because they released the Wii port, but both versions combined most likely. I mean, according to VGC it's @ about 500k LTD, and that's without any EMEAA sales data for either version, and no Americas sales data for the PS2 version... For all we know, it could've easily crossed the million mark.

I remember reading that Okami had sold 670,000 on the Wii up to May 2009. This was because it's the worst-selling GOTY ever, which is bad...

I reckon that sounds reasonable, no?

670,000 on Wii alone? Hm, well, that definitely sounds sort of... plausible, but then it must've sold quite a bit more in EMEAA than in the Americas (according to VGC's numbers)... which doesn't really sound likely, but you never know.

Anyway, such numbers would definitely make it a success in my book, 'cos then it might well have crossed the million mark by now, in combined sales.
