Keep in mind the numbers are possibly months old at this point

Yeah that's fair, I don't expect the numbers to be drastically increased anyway.
Hopefully this doesn't dissuade them too much from releasing on everything they can.
The Okami numbers are pretty good given how the original bombed. It's a classic example of a cherished game that everybody keeps telling you about on the internet, and thankfully it finally has found its audience. Even for Xbox the numbers are decent enough, I think. Don't forget this is the ecosystem that only had a playable version of it in late 2017.
Ace Attorney though, wow, rooooough numbers.

That's all good to hear. I haven't been keeping up to date on the leaks too much but what you've put in spoiler tags is promising.
The sales data would suggest it would be best off being made for Switch in mind - I guess Switch is current gen though :)
To give some context the switch version is a late port, of a late port of a HD remaster
Damn those Switch and PC numbers are great, no wonder Capcom is reviving the series
Holy fuck @ those Xbox sales though
I JUST re-bought it on Switch due to the sale (I had the PS2 and PS3 versions before). I feel like I crave a playthrough of this game once every 7 years or so.
$9.99 is the all time low price in the US. I am sure it will go lower at some point, if you can wait.
Okamiden continues the story somewhat, particularly a bit for Waka and Issun, and has a similar sequelhook. Unless and until they remake okamiden first, they've basically tied their hands because the story did already continue, but few seem to be aware of it (and the biggest fans won't be happy if you just ignore it).
It's the audience microsoft has built on xbox, they didnt get that dudebro stereotype for nothing, even when they tried to build a better audience for Japanese publishers, their efforts were still overshadowed by what they promoted more, which is games like CoD and such
Selling games for 10-20 bucks digital compared to trying to sell them for 50/60 physical is a big difference. Back then Okami was competing for shelve space with big games like GTA or Final Fantasy - they dont have that issue on digital can play around more with the prices.
I mean i get what you are saying anyway, it helps that Okami has somewhat of a timeless look.
It's very good, although the 2nd half of the game kind of drags on a little too long in my opinion. Still worth it though.
Count me for one of the PS4 purchases. Never owned on PS2, but it was right there on PS4 and easily accessible. Think I ended up buying on Switch physical just because it was so good.
I'd insta-buy the prequel if they can find a way to port that as well. (^:

Well, I did my part. Still haven't gotten around to playing it though. lol Better get to that soon.
Those Okami numbers are pretty impressive honestly.
While those Xbox numbers are pretty bad, those combined numbers still means you're basically printing money, given that it's a port of what's essentially a visual novel.
Switch - 462,395
PC - 245,339
PS4 - 103,235
Xbox - 4,821

The Xbox One platform in general didn't have the market-leader performance of something like the PS4, the broad accessibility of PC, or the super active user base of something like the Switch. That said, when a game/franchise is unavailable for an extended window, and then ends up a late arrival (either relative to other ports, or simply series-wise), it's not shocking that you see it underperform. That putting aside other factors like frequent heavy discounts on some platforms but not others. I'm actually relatively impressed by the Okami remaster numbers, but Ace Attorney? Woof.
I'm glad for Okami.
Bought the PS3 Special Edition (it came with a snow globe), PS3 Digital Edition, PS4 Digital and Switch Digital.
Great game.

BOW DOWN TO THE GODDESS, BABY!
As a person growing on Indian mythology (but no representation in gaming), I found it really surprised by a few parallels (demigods and demons doing oopsies) and delightful at how playful Clover studio was with their own mythology (I know it's been done since manga originated).
Playing it last year, the game holds up incredibly well. Secrets are hidden like a good metroidvania but visible just enough that "you'll need an ability later" thought pops in the mind. And each zone feels distinct from one another.
Not only its artstyle, it's animations are amazing and have great charm to them.
The game's also just gone on sale as part of the Black Friday promotion, so has likely seen a bump since then.
I imported the disc version from Japan, the games are good anywhere. I wish I got a vita version years ago. :(
There's the idea that niche Japanese games have not done enough to build an audience on Xbox, which I am somewhat sympathetic to. But then there's Ace Attorney selling less than 1% of copies on Xbox which just means there isn't any potential for that franchise on the platform. Surprised that Capcom didn't try to get AAT onto Game Pass for console. (Or maybe they did try...)
Must be a cost/benefit thing, also there's the issue the original developers are no longer at Capcom.
Eh, I bought it for Switch and played it docked for the most part, I don't see the issue.
It's in my top 5 of all time. And I've been playing games since the msx days.
Switch is specially amazing considering its late release and digital only outside of Japan. I've doubledipped already.
Hopefully Capcom lets Kamiya and Nakamura do the sequel.

I feel like this is good since many of those consumers aren't double dipping. I got it on PS4 and loved every second.
id imagine a sequel, with a smaller budget of course, could do well and move 1M+ on Switch/PC/PS4.

I double-dipped on ps3 and ps4. Triple if you count my Wii version. I adore this game.
It's a shame my 100% save is stuck on my ps3.

I firmly believe that if Okami were to release in today's climate, it would be a massive success.
What's the best version to buy? I have a Switch but would prefer playstation.
I 've never played the Switch version but hrom what I've read from people that have both versions, is that they prefer the Switch version because of the touch controls.
All I can say from the PS4 version is that it looks very, very good on a 4K screen when playing on a Pro.
I think there's always a chance, but I do think with Xbox it needs to be tailored differently. As said, AAT being on Gamepass would've likely meant a slightly different story.
Similar to say Yakuza LaD just dropping on Xbox vs having 0-2 pop up before hand.
It'll definitely never be the platform with the most sales for more niche genre content though. But you could definitely foster a committed fanbase.
