Forums - Nintendo - Capcom gives some numbers about Okami and Dead Rising

Well, there IS a tiny bit of justice in this world.

Capcom should make a bunch of T.V. ads, and give it a "release" date, relaunching the game. Who else would know it's been out so long, CAPCOM?!



Okami

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Christian (+50).  Arminian(+20). AG adherent(+20). YEC(+20). Pre-tribulation Pre-milleniumist (+10).  Republican (+15) Capitalist (+15).  Pro-Nintendo (+5).  Misc. stances (+30).  TOTAL SCORE: 195

That is bloody amazing actually. That a port of a game released to a userbase of 30m (many 'kids, soccer moms and old folks') could outsell the original sold to a userbase of 120m - including all the core gamers.

selling more than the original has to be a smashing success, there is no other way to put it. It still deserves more but many games do.

Ugh, like I've said before, it is extremely unlikely that the 270k figure for the PS2 version was worldwide.

 

"Ok, I did a little looking around, and it seems that 270k number for Okami (PS2) is probably not worldwide.

In the Media Create top 500 2006, Okami sold 142,676.
In the 2007 list the "PS2 the Best" release sold 50,890.
For the US, NPD had it at 86,676 in September.

So that already brings us to 280k. Also considering the quote was 'That 270,000 figure is a very organic figure. Okami's day-one figure was nowhere near that,' It would seem unlikely that he is talking about worldwide figures if the first day was nowhere near that.
Even if the trackers are off it seems impossible that they would be so off that they would end up with a greater amount from one country + one month in another country."

I think Dead Rising has a chance to sell more than they are predicting. Especially since Wii won't get Resident Evil 5.



I started making videos for youtube; check them out.

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

Dead Rising will be a massive flop, not even 200k.

Okami still has at east one more sale to make. I haven't had a chance to buy it yet.

i think it's "shipped" number, because my bestbuy has truckload of Okami Wii version in the back.

 

1 best buy truck =/= the world
