Capcom: Okami Wii, Darkside Chronicles sales have been “slow”

February 1st, 2010 Posted in DS, News, Posted by Valay, Wii

This information comes from Capcom’s latest financial support…

“In this business segment, ‘Mega Man Exe: Operate Shooting Star’ (for Nintendo DS) achieved steady sales supported by their established brand names during this quarter. Our lower-priced software title ‘Monster Hunter Freedom Unite PSP the Best’ (for PlayStation Portable), whose price has been reduced further from its original low-price, also grew favorably, whereas ‘Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles’ (for Wii) and ‘Okami’ (for Wii) saw slow sales. Capcom’s flagship title ‘Monster Hunter Tri’ (for Wii) achieved healthy growth, and ‘Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth’ (for Nintendo DS) performed satisfactorily.”

As a huge supporter of Okami, I’m very saddened by this news. Darkside Chronicles recently released in Japan and the sales have been decent so far, but they have been slow in North America. At least there is some good news for Capcom from Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Monster Hunter 3, and Mega Man EXE: Operate Shooting Star.

    Capcom has to understand that resident evil was lauched almost at the same time as call of duty modern warfare reflex and is no competetion with its online multiplayer and okami it was to old for a port.

    Huh, I guess I’m the only one who’s tired of coming up with excuses for every single game that’s not selling well on Wii. And there’s a whole lot of them.

    I’m afraid there’s just no audience =/

    If you want stronger sales, make those games for Xbox 360 or PS3/Beast!

    Um… I tried to find a copy of Okami for the Wii forever, but local stores never stocked it. I eventually had to order it online and fork up the shipping. However, I know about Okami. Joe consumer, on the other hand, can’t buy it if it’s not on store shelves.

    *sigh* When will these companies learn not to put any effort/resources into the Wii? The audience simply is not there! Give’em anyhting with a ‘Wii’, ‘Party’ or ‘Mario’ slapped on it then it will sell.

    All these good games going to waste on next to no one.
