Considering it was 6-12 guys working for about 8 months, I doubt the port didn't post a profit. But that's not what the Okami reference was about: it was just saying that sales aren't as high as the PS2 version.

@NJ5: True, but it's the second half of that quote that's really interesting to me (Worldwide vs. just U.S.).

As for the part about not being cheap to make, I think someone should clarify that we don't think it was a low budget game, just not as expensive as a typical HD game, the kind Namco said needed to sell 500k just to break even.

Your summary of the article is a bit funny. You mix up some different statements so that it sounds as if capcom thinks that "Chop till you drop" is not a quality title. But in fact they think that this is a quality game:

"The results? The Wii gamers we tested totally enjoyed the game for many of the same reasons that people loved the 360 version. The humor, weapons, tension and giant mall setting were just as important to the Wii owners as they were to the 360 gamers."

But they dislike the reaction of some Xbox-gamers that "their" game is ported to another console.

Between this thread and the Capcom thread, there are a hell of a lot of conflicting statements from various sources inside Capcom. I wish crap like this would get cleared up, but Capcom mostly feigns openness, while keeping real data close to its chest.

"Your summary of the article is a bit funny. You mix up some different statements so that it sounds as if capcom thinks that "Chop till you drop" is not a quality title."

That's what posters on Kotaku thought. Clearly they didn't bother to actually read the article.

Give me a break. He has the correct data.

Has he? He don't post the "correct" data he has. Perhaps because of tax? And he always wrote very negative about wii games and the wii market.

Good businesses are about customers not money.
Money just helps keeping the business running.

why are they being such bitches or babies. Did they seriously expect to have massive sales in games like Okami or Zack and Wiki. I mean they never advertised. They are new games no one has ever ever heard of. They are not the big shooter games.

Zack and wiki is a super niche title and in that niche they have these kiddy cell shading graphics to even further drive away some of those "Ooh I'm hardcore" people of that niche.

Oh well, i don't give a shit about capcom. I liked zack and wiki but that is about it for their games. Resident evil is starting to go down the shitter

and they think "ooh the reviewers loved our games and got amazing scores or "of the year title""

I guess this shows just how little reviewers mean in the actual gaming comunity and tha tmost game buyers just buy games and don't read or even look at reviews.  which should come to no ones surprise

Roffle, he trashed gaf too? Who tied his panties in a double knot?
