Atlus didn't finance Demon's Souls but seized upon a unique opportunity that presented itself. They credited the signing and sales for a $5 million profit, but its bread and butter, the niche Japanese games people constantly call for lost them over $1 million the previous year.

Platinum makes great games. So did Clover. Not enough of us bought them to support them. Not enough of us are buying Platinum Games. We talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
If people would like something wildly ambitious like Okami then gamers have to help the people at the studio create the conditions in which it can be made, ie. financial success, security and stability. You can't do that if you sit on the sidelines.
Anyway back to the game, agree with Taurus, wild bull looks grand - eager to see what else the game has up its sleeves.

The problem was Okami also didn't sell very well, I bet if they make an Okami-like adventure game, it'd sell as much as something like enslaved.
So it got me wonder too, what DO gamers want?
