    Numbers via this thread at NeoGAF:

    Hardware Numbers (thanks to "Amused_To_Death"):
    Great numbers for the DS and PS2. Below average numbers for the 360 (IMO), and downright pathetic numbers for the PSP. It desperately needs a price cut. Seriously. Even that might not help that much.

    For those curious, I believe the 360 is up to ~2.7M in the US and ~4M worldwide.

    Some software numbers:

    I wish we had more guys saying that about Okami, which has a 93 average score at Metacritic. Its poor sales are probably part of the reason Clover Studio is being closed down.:(

    I'm one who bought Okami, but don't kid yourself into thinking that it would ever become a mass-market blockbuster

    it's way too much of a niche-type setting and artistic style to achieve mass success. most casual americans just aren't interested in ancient japanese art lol

    I wasn't expecting mass-market numbers for it here, but seeing it do about as well as Enchanted Arms is a little sad (with Okami having like an additional 30+M consoles to draw sales on). Actually, I'm not all that disappointed in the 87k it did since I was aware of the things you said, but I can still wish for better sales. :)

    Besides, I think Okami bombed in Japan. :(

    yeah that's the only surprising thing, that it bombed in Japan

    not sure what the reason for that was

    i almost exclusively play Madden on 360, yet hardly any of my friends who have it are ever on it. :( i always have to play fools who think the Falcons are god's gift to football. Vick really isn't that hard to stop if you know how to play the right defense. and when they figure out they can't run circles around me with Vick and i go up a couple of scores, the losers quit before the first quarter.

    the reason i brought this up is b/c Madden is number 1 in sales but it doesn't seem anyone i know plays it.
