If you look across the slew of all cel-shaded games, developers sort of have an inside joke, saying, 'Okay, it's cel-shaded - it's going to be sent to die.' Believe it or not, unfortunately the mainstream doesn't react well to the 'games as art' pitch and to do big numbers sometimes you have to tap the mainstream." "I think that the mainstream doesn't see cel-shaded titles as super appealing. But why didn't Okami for PS2 sell even better? "New IP is always hard," says Svensson. We're not shipping 10,000 a month of everything, but from distribution channels, we still get orders of a thousand here, a thousand there, and we're still selling it from the Capcom store. We are still selling PS2 copies of Okami. "It really speaks to the quality and the word of mouth and the effort of places like IGN to get the word out there. Okami's day-one figure was nowhere near that," explains Capcom's vice president of business development and strategic planning, Christian Svensson. "That 270,000 figure is a very organic figure. Of course, it's unfair to compare sales of a new IP with one of Nintendo's biggest guns and it must be noted that while Okami sales aren't epic, demand for the game hasn't entirely fallen off even now. Indeed, even sales of the downplayed GCN version outperformed Capcom's ambitious adventure by a wide margin. By comparison, Twilight Princess, which shares much in common with Okami, quickly became a million-seller on Wii. In fact, since its release in September of 2006, the game has amassed about 270,000 in sales - certainly no retail bomb, but hardly the success story that such a product might have enjoyed.
