360 is dead. NG2 sells only 32k to date.

That's a bit unfair for you to say. The 360 hasn't even passed the 1 million mark in Japan, it's not like the game is going to sell bundles if there aren't that many systems. And I might be wrong but, aren't you just assuming NG2 had potential in Japan because in was a game about Ninjas?ONLYDOD

but but but... NINJAS R POPULAR IN JAPAN NO?

Well according to nexgenwars the 360 has 18 million sold & the BS3 has 9 million. So the 360 is closing in on the leader of the pack & if sales of consoles move at about the same rate year over year this means that it will take another year or longer for the BS3 to make it to 18 million. Assuming a steady trending upwards, the Wii & 360 will be around 30-40 million by the time the BS3 reaches the 18 million mark.

Wrong... the PS3 is at 13 million sold worldwide.

DBZ should do better

Dragonball live action Movie next year :o can't wait so awesome

On topic, another thread that should be locked. Beaten to death topic "Xbox dead in Japan" and proclaiming a console is dead because of one games sales in Japan.

13.50 million to be exact.

Japan is missing out! I played both DMC4 and NG2. Although I really enjoyed DMC4 (it was more of a rental game). NG2 is a must own game. It's got some old school boss challenges that are soooo satisfying when you beat them.

***spoiler***

Like the lava boss thing...when you finally figure out you need to hit it in the face with a scythe...and manage to kill it. It blows up taking you out with it. That ticks you off, but at the same time it challenges you to beat it. And when you do win....oooohhhh the sweet satisfaction.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is not to everyone's taste, I refuse to buy it, its a average quality game and not to my tasteWWIAB

That's blasphemy! Probably the most fun game I've played this year.

no doubt...i've played a little of it, and while its not my cup of tea, i think it looks and plays awesome.

Actually, the PS3 is dead. MGS4 didn't even sell a million yet IN JAPAN! :lol:

The one good PS3 title this year, can even sell in it's hometown. Wow.

[QUOTE="FB3"]Few people in Japan even own an Xbox 360. It's by far the least popular console over there because the console has less games that appeal to them, so I wasn't surprised when it said Japan. FB3

What are you talking about? It has more JRPGS than the PS3 and Wii combined! It has even more coming out.

Yeah, had to rethink that one. Microsoft is an American company after all.

And the 360 is built in CHINA! Woot for crap.

At least the PS3 is 50% China 50% Japan made.

I thought these were US numbers you were talking about....that woulda been a frickin' story. MS is dead already in Japan, old news.

BTW.....what are NG2's first week numbers here in the states?

xsubtownerx

It's already the top selling PS3 game to date in Japan and it's first week was just below the launch of MGS3 (and above the launch of MGS1 and MGS2).

Sales not Halo 3 level, but still good.

I actually got that from neogaf

And those 32k who bought it are enjoying the amazing game that NGII is. I've been playing it non-stop since release, and am loving every second of it.ThugKing6669

That is kind of sad though. I know it's Japan but hell, this is Tecmo. Ninja Gaiden. Tomonobu Itagaki. Even with only a million as an install base, wouldn't you expect that like... even 1/10th of those owners (who must be diehard gamers to buy a 360 over there) would pick up one of those must-play iconic games like NG. Particularly since it's Japanese.

It doesn't indicate anything bigger than the games sales sucking though.

Probably, because in todays worldwide society, freedom of choice, and a unity of all peoples regardless of skin color, religion, or nationality, is a dead cause. Makes me happy to wake up every morning.

I'm not sure how Sigma did in Japan, I'm guessing not too much better than NG II though. Both systems don't have that large of a install base in Japan (I know PS3's is higher than 360 though), so I'm guessing it didn't do too well either.

Um in Japan. But still quite pathetic considering some 360 games get over 100k sales there. NG2 would've done a lot better on PS3.Lazy_Boy88

If you think NG2 is good you should play MGS 4. It blows all other games away!!!

NG2 and MGS4 are very different ... instead of telling him what he shoudld play you should give NG2 a try first.

Let me get this straight, cows complain about lack of sales because of lack of install base, and now you're posting sales figures from Japan which everybody knows the 360 has next to no install base, woaw. :| And by the looks of it Japan is Nintendo Land.

lol

It's sales aren't that bad in Japan especially with the low install base and the fact that in Japan it has a rating equilivent to AO.

I understand. I feel that it is an important thing for a country to have pride in itself. I feel all countries should have pride in themselves. But there's nothing wrong with accepting others as well. Pride can turn into hatred or alienation rather quickly, it's a double edged sword.

Ahhh i see what you did there, smart.

Well in the region of my house MGS has only sold one copy, PS3 is dead:|

NG2 is overrated and it doesn't indicate that the 360 is dead, but MGS 4 is the best game ever made and that's going to help the PS3 out a lot. patriots7672

Wow wee, MGS1>MGS4 as do other games

you see why i dont bother responding to threads like these? cows keep telling lemmings just how dead the 360 is in japan,but they will pop fun at the 360 by laughing at how a game sells there :|
