According to Vgchartz, Okami has sold 150k in Japan. So let's add that:
Japan: 150k
And according to this source, Okami sold 270k by March 07, so with legs it might have sold 300k in America
America: 300k
And while the game was completely ignored in Europe, a large userbase must have gave it some sales. Let's go low and say 50k.
So, what we end up with is...
Japan: 150k
America: 300k
Europe: 50k
Total: 500k

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, or interpreting it incorrectly but your source states this:

"In fact, since its release in September of 2006, the game has amassed about 270,000 in sales..."

To me that means in total sales, till March 20th, 2008 it has sold in total, 270k. Did I miss where it stated that this number was only for the US?

This.

So, as I am to understand it, you are now renouncing the ign article (which after further investigation, Capcom must agree with, as they link to it from the official capcom website) and instead using this nex-gen website as your source?

This is pretty crazy.  How long can this go on?  Montana, you do realize that your new source contradicts your 270k number, right?

And thanks to Kasz216, we know that "1. The stats were compiled using NPD stats as well as various public, analyst and publisher figures and dead reckoning."  Dead reckoning being, to my understanding, complete guesswork based on experience and intuition.  I would have intuited that one of the most acclaimed games of the generation would have sold well.  And we all know how accurate analysts are.
