Okami Wii sees lackluster sales

Capcom released a pile of financial results and sales figures, and hidden somewhere in the back, behind the relish and bottle of v8, were the numbers that Okami managed to churn up on the Wii.

Sadly, 280,000 copies are all that have landed in gamer’s laps in North America and Europe. Was it too late? Is Okami just too hard? Is the style of the game not suited for the Wii audience? All I know is that I bought it. *wipes sweat off forehead*

    There is another option, it was released at a bad time. It came out during a period of about two months when there were quite a few big releases like say, Smash Brothers and Mario Kart Wii. I bought a copy when it was first released, yet I’ve still only spent about an hour playing it. I keep hoping to find time to go back and play it, but as of yet, I haven’t.

    that is a good point tmnt. I remember being torn between finishing okami and playing other titles… Maybe it have a long lasting sales record like boom blox. that would be nice.
