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

I agree with the Zelda thoughts. This was picked by many as game of the year, it was just on the wrong console. All the Zelda fans would have bought this if it had been on GC, I think it is a much better fit for Wii. Especially with the drawing on screen.

I bet 500k, maybe even better.



BAM! There it is!

That's the most realistic guess so far, and this is coming from Okami fan #1.

It will do better than NiGHTS, so maybe 250k if it's lucky.

As for Okami selling 1 million if it was on the Gamecube...

Maybe, if it was made by Nintendo. Otherwise, it would have sold less than 150k.

Also, Okami's worldwide sales are in the 400-500k range, Capcom just had high standards since it was such a hyped game.



... for the last time Montana, Okami flopped.  It sold 270K units,  straight from the horse's mouth. Get over it.

I'd be willing to bet the first person here willing to take me up on it that Okami for the Wii will sell more than double that 270K figure lifetime.  The prize for the winner will be 1 SNES game on virtual console of the winner's choice, paid for and gifted by the loser.  



I bet an N64 game that Naznatips wins that bet!

I'd say 300k. I'm hoping for more, though.
I can tell you I'm getting my copy.

Wow, that's actually a pretty cool idea instead of ban bets: virtual console gifts!

truer words have never been spoken.

i agree with nazntips that the wii version will sell more than the ps2 version ltd. imo this is only the case because it isn't lost in a slew of other releases and this sort of game that will go over well with the zelda-playing wii populace.

if this does over 600,000 let alone a million you can colour me impressed.

Sad thing is.

Well Capcom will apparently be happy with 270K hehe. 

Montana seems to be against this on principle.  Like porting his favorite game to Wii corrupts it or something.  I've never seen someone more vehemently attack a remake.

You should of saw me when I bought FF6 and Chrono Trigger on the PS1. It added worse washed out music quality, and loading times... and gave me a few stupid animated movies.

Of course to be fair i played it before bashing it. Before then I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

I'm also not a fan of the redesigned FF4 graphics but i'm well complained out about that.

Unless instead of artistic dog, they use a cuddly dog with a baby as the cover art. Then it will be a multi-million seller.


 more wii bashing, huh?

 

i think the game will sell more than 200,000
