@Hunter_alien: Those people must have been blind. Sales of games like Elite Beat agents are never that high on opening week. They tend to have decent legs though and continue on. Okami is not that type of game though. It's a game with a horrible name with no advertising and box art that doesn't appeal to the mass market.
They should have renamed the game to "The lone wolf" and shown a much more realistic wolf on the box with wolf cubs howling at a full moon.
Then they could have run an advertisement on the game that showed no in game footage but again featured the same wolf with cubs, one cub wanders off on it's own, gets all scared. The guy commentating asks you to guide this young wolf on an adventure.
Works for me ;)
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
