hmmm.......

Has Ninja Gaiden ever sold well over there?-Sora

It's never actually sold very well over here. But regardless, a bit disheartening.

Has Ninja Gaiden ever sold well over there?-Sora

Well.. Ninja Gaiden only sold 67k copies total in Japan lol. So the Sigma is about 1/3 of the way there.

Everyone is saying that it sells like crap.

An Xbox 360 game outselling a PS3 game in Japan ... IN JAPAN .... TCHBOKayrod29

TCHBO? for a game that didnt even sell a million copies from the orginal ninja gaiden and ninja gaiden black, 20k is pretty damn good since none of the ninja gaiden games even sold well in japan in the first place. So I dont see what u are on about. Wait until folklore comes out there or scratch that why not wait until final fantasy 13 come out then lets see u talk. :P

Ninja Gaiden for Xbox sold 900,000, almost breaking 1 million sold, but yeah, the game itself doesn't sell well, it's still one of the best action games ever made.

Folklore out in japan (came out early), it got a lower score then saints row which is pretty bad considering saints row isn't the greatest game in the world. I haven't managed to find sales number yet considering its only came out yesterday so you'll have to wait abit until i can get ahold of some.

ahh i read weekly shounen not famitsu. I can tell you now that famitsu has been useless for along time.

LOL at cows who kept saying "wait for Ninja Gaiden!"iorrre

ninja gaiden isn't popular in japan, so I'm pretty sure they were talking about US and Europe.

Cows are famous for backtracking and denying everything. They always go to their fall back position WAIT FOR MGS4 and FFXIII. JiveT

I bet you wish to backtrack when the Dreamcast was stilla live. LMAO!!!! owned!!!

Cows know my weak spot for massive damage attacks is the Dreamcast. I'm much like a giant enemy crab in that sense.

Cows don't admit ownage, its a natural trend of there species is to deny everything and just admit they are the best and have the best system.

Cows will never recover from the pwnage this gen. It has been a year since E3 06 and cows have been constantly pwned.Hir0_N

they can make a late run...but the last 2 years have been hellish.

NG was never a hit in Japan, not even in Japanese reviews.

If u say so level 7. Besides my point is NGS is going to do better then any of the originals, even with these early numbers. So dont base a games success off some first day numbers.

it's a fact :|

NG isn't a "premiere" title in Japan, and it never was. With two installments, it never sold much, and it never scored so hot either.

don't try so hard man.

obviously it never sold much in Japan because the Japanese didn't buy Xboxes :|

How could it sell well if the Japanese were buying 2,000 xboxes/week? And if you knew that, how could you use that point to justify lack of PS3 game sales?

don't underthink the issue, okay? :|

Where ?

[QUOTE="iorrre"]LOL at cows who kept saying "wait for Ninja Gaiden!"gundamfan80

Ninja Gaiden isn't popular, period. Atleast not among the masses, neither the original nor black managed to even break 1 million. Games as difficult as Ninja Gaiden just don't sell well, no one should be surprised by this.

People in Japandefinitely had more Xboxes at that time than people have PS3s now, right? really, you can stop now... there's just nothing you can say.

not to mention NG's low review scores, which you keep ignoring.

Tri Crescendo (developer of Et. Sonata... you probably didn't know that) is one of the biggest names in RPG devs. 30K is pretty low for such a big name JRPG developer.

Blue Dragon didn't even make a big impact as expected :|

I know you were looking for ownage... but you won't find it here. sorry.

Blue Dragon sold 200,000 which is amazing given the small user base for 360.

NG's low scores ? I'm not sure in what planet you're living in.

And Blue Dragon sold twice as much as Sakaguchi expected. (He expected 100k and it sold 200k)

Lets wait until the full week nubmers are in. VGcharts said that the original NG sold 49,000 in its first week so lets see how NGS does.

low scores IN JAPAN. Japan is on planet earth :|get on topic before attacking.

Blue Dragon was supposed to push 360 sales. it didn't.

Give me examples of low scores, then.

And by the way you are wrong. Blue Dragon did sell systems in Japan, of course it was not enough to make the 360 compete there.
