Capcom: Okami Wii, Darkside Chronicles sales have been “slow”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 6 Comments
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.
Iwata clarifies DS successor comments, says Wii HD isn’t coming, talks future hardware
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Iwata on the Asahi confusion…
Iwata says the question was: “The next DS will need to have high resolution graphics and include a motion sensor, wouldn’t you say?”
And his response was…“Those are naturally considered requirements. However, do you believe it will sell with just this?”
Iwata on Wii HD…
“If asked if making the Wii compatible with high definition — just making it compatible with high resolution — will get players throughout the world to buy it, I would of course say, ‘Do you think it would sell with just that? Let’s put something new in it.”
Iwata on future hardware…
“If there were no rival makers in the world, I’d could give examples of the things that we are considering. However, for competitive reasons, I cannot give specifics today on the what or when of the things we’re considering.”
