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

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.
