Forums - Sales - How much do you think Okami Wii will sell?

DarkNight_DS on 27 March 2008

When I pre-ordered it was listed as 29.99$ Canadian. Where did you guys see it for full price?



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

I'll guess 200K putting it at about the level of the original.

According to my info, the game is $40 in the US.

I'd say about 300k. I never played it on the PS2, and I'm going to buy it on Wii. I hope there are a lot of people like me out there.

I think it'll hit inside of the 0.5 - 1.0 million range. The real deciding factor is going to be how much advertising they give it. People keep forgetting that the Wii has a high percentage of mainstream audience, so they can't just rely on internet ads to sell the thing. It's got a pretty art style that I think would be very attractive if people saw it on tv.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Less than the PS2 version. It will bomb bomb BOOOOOOMB

Don't ignore what this game is made of people

Port of a PS2 game.

2 years later

Full price (same cost as the PS2 version at release)

No additional content at all

No graphical upgrade at all (even the framerate is the same)

No advertising budget was given to the game. Zero commercials shot or anything. (Confirmed by capcom themselves)

Multiple delays on the game already

The original was a niche title that bombed as well

The Wii library has matured to the point that bottom feeding for games isn't necessary anymore like it was last year when RE:Wii came out. People will be playing Tales of Symph 2 and Rockband MK:Wii, Wiifit and Wiiware games when this comes out. You know, REAL efforts worth the time rather than SLUMMING on old ports of games that bombed already and are being released with even LESS advertising than it had the first time it underperformed.

This game is a fruit freaking cocktail of ingredients needed to make a game bomb, and no amount of wishful thinking, not desire to see it do well just so the Wii can have another good 3rd party seller is going to save this game. It is doomed, a sum of its own crappy make up. It has nothing going for it. Nothing.

 

Edit: Let me add, that if by some miracle this game does perform well at retail, Ill see it as nothing but statistical noise. An exception rather than the rule, a minor thing that slipped through the cracks, kind of like Carnival Games selling a million plus worldwide. After all, if you throw enough s**t at the wall, eventually SOMETHING sticks. 


I would hope that this argument is full of fail; I hope that Okami sells very well.  RE4 Will hit the 1million mark at the steady pace that it is selling.  I would argue that Okami probably should have been released on the cube; that is were your zelda fans are, and I would think that most Zelda fans would gravitate towards a game like this.

I have enjoyed the new games that are out for Wii so far, but personally I would not mind if we got more PS2 ports over to the Wii.  I'm talking to you Insomniac and Nauty Dog!  Let's get some J & D and R & C action over on the Wii.



fagarcia75 on 27 March 2008

On topic, I hope just in the U.S.A. alone it hits 500,000 and 1 million worldwide.



makingmusic476 on 27 March 2008

I hope 1 million, but I'm guessing 500-700k. Unless Capcom decides to step up and actually advertise the game. :|



Daddo Splat on 28 March 2008

Not going to happen.  Both those developers are basically Sony property.

And Xyrax....nice troll.  You may have good points, but you could make them without jumping up and down and screaming "Bombs away!"

And your edit suggests that this is a vendetta you have with either 3rd parties, the Wii or both, as opposed to a genuine analysis of Okami's sales potential.
