Forums - Nintendo - Capcom rep: "Okami on Wii did good", make up your mind

This is what Colin Ferris, Capcom Product Manager, said in a podcast:

“As for the Clover IPs, we did just release Okami on the Wii. And it did have some very good success on the Wii. It definitely did well. So we were excited about that. As for revisiting some of them [Clover IPs], you know, I can’t rule anything out but we don’t have anything planned.”

From Nintendo Everything

Which doesn't match the comment made by him some time ago:

"The games business is filled with titles that people love that simply did not make money: Viewtiful Joe. Okami. Zack and Wiki."

Capcom should teach their staff to have one single statement... not two contradicting statements.

I want hard cold numbers and then decide for myself if it did good.

Actually, he could be referring to the original PS2 offering of Okami which must have cost a lot more to make than the Wii version.



Okami the end... :)



 


I always thought that last quote was very doubtful. Viewtiful Joe was a franchise which lived for a while, it doesn't make sense that they'd be making sequels (and even a TV show) on an unprofitable franchise.

I and others got some flack a while ago for expressing this opinion, with several people saying "Capcom knows, it's their game!". I feel vindicated now.

Maybe Okami has been slowly selling these last few months?



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

Okami on PS2 probably lost money.

Okami on Wii probably more than covered the cost of porting it and was therefore a nice profit generator.

Therefore both statements are true.
