A solid opening, since the game wasn't a hit before, and that the game was neglected by some retailers.

Thanks guys! :D

I know almost nothing about Japanese RPGs, it was just Super Mario for me on SNES (and some more games I don't remember) and then I did fall into racing, fighting and RTS on PC for a long time (and GameBoy), after that a few games at what would become my younger brothers PS2 and then GBA mostly for Pokémon before GameCube, which I did play a few games on, but could not really get in to Tales of Symphonia - the only Japanese RPG I ever did try. Or is Pokémon countable? :P

But my girlfriend loves Final Fantasy games, so maybe she could teach me the ways. :)

And on topic, when does Okami come out in Europe?

Or even Japan? 

Europe - June 27.
Japan - Q2 2008.

@ LordTheNightKnight

True. I wonder how it will do in Japan, as it is there culture in the game.

@Viper1

Thanks! 180 000 to 350 000 sold in America before Japan and Europe gets it?
