First day SALES of NGSigma and Eternal Sonata in JAPAN... link

Hmm, you're judging a game's sale's success/failure only by watching the numbers for the first day? Wow. How we wait about a week to get a better and clearer picture on how NGS does in Japan?

Wow....bah Japan is irrelevant to NorthAmerican/ European gamers. They have bizarre tastesin games.

[QUOTE="leadernator"]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.

Forza_2

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.

exactly :|

both famitsu and Dorimaga didn't give anything near AAA to NG. Dorimaga throwing in a bunch of 7s as well. definitely not the same calibur as reviews here.

Famitsu gave Sigma a 33/40. http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=7857

You said that other reviewer gave it a 7 ? That's what you call low scores ? What else you got from Japan ?

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

like i said. nothing near AAA.

in a forum where an 8.9 is a flop... yes, it's not a hot score :| do you ever see people raving about 7 scores? didn't think so.

you can sugar coat it all you like... for a game like NG, you'd expect a lot more.

Wow....bah Japan is irrelevant to NorthAmerican/ European gamers. They have bizarre tastesin games.

-CMG-

I'm pretty positive that you don't speak for all gamers when you say this.

PS3 won't sell in Japan until FFXIII and hopefully it won't be too late by then.Blackbond

like i said. nothing near AAA.

That's not what you said first. You said LOW scores.

7 is a low score, and famitsu isn't the only big namereviewer in Japan. Famitsu's review isn't as great as you're trying to make it out to be, soWHY THE HECK ARE YOU CONTINUING WITH THIS? do you honestly like your games scoring like that?

Since you are claiming NGS is getting low scores in Japan, why don't you show me the scores from the big reviewers there ?

360 fans and ps3 fansthe gamesBoth sold like crap!! The **** wii game probably outsold them combined which just shows how pathetic The worlds taste is games has become, thanks for that nintendo :/

How in the hell can Ninja Gaiden not be popular in Japan?!

To all of the fanboys who says " there is no excuses a 360 game shouldn't outsell a ps3 game" it's not hard at all outselling the ps3 right now in japan in software content, but the real challenge is 2 try and outsell the ps3 hardware (with a price tag that it wears) as well in japan now that's the real chore

[QUOTE="-Sora"]Has Ninja Gaiden ever sold well over there?Kinitari

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

i just gave you the dorimaga review :|

fact is, NGwas NOT a blockbuster hit in Japan, neitherwas it a sleeper hit. there's not really any arguing that.

you think 7s and low 8s are good scores.... fine with me. i don't. simple as that.

Blue Dragon didn't have its big impact in Japan. I'm glad you agree with that.

this whole little nit-pick deal you have isn't cool, and i'm sure you know that too. you won't get anything out of it, because you're not actually arguing :|

if you want the last word, fine. i'm done with you.

Wow, you guys are pathetic. A Japanese RPG game with lolis outsold a game that's been remade twice. Honestly, anyone that's surprised doesn't know anything about Japan.Slashkice

Considering the first Ninja Gaiden was an Xbox exclusive I don't think many people in Japan will have played it.

U lemmings act like the ps3 has been out aslong as the xbox 360 and try an say buh buh buh no games, buh buh buh there is no need for HDMI, lmao. U make yourselves look bad because we all know deep inside why u always have excuses to bash on the ps3, because right now is a good time to do it while there arent many games, but when they do arrive, it will be a whole new ball game. Besides, if I were u I wouldnt be worried so much about other ppl's post, Id be more worried about the rings of death, lol. Anyways enjoy playing Tenchu Z while I play Ninja Gaiden Sigma, lmao. :P

Oh really? When does NG2 come out? Because last I checked, it doesn't have a release date AT ALL, while NGS comes out next week, so you will most certainly NOT be playing NG2 while I'm playing my "2 year old port." :P:P

And ontop of that, NGS is probably going to sell just as well as if not better than the Xbox NG, so we'll be getting NG2 as well. So please stop the "While you play a 2 year old NG port, I'll be playing NG2!", because we'll have finished NGS LONG before NG2 comes out, and when it does come out, we'll get to play that one too. :)

[QUOTE="Dreams-Visions"][QUOTE="leadernator"]

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

leadernator

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.

Both game scored AAA in famitsu . As for sales . it was a Xbox game . there not even 1M xbox ( original ) sold over there.

LMAO yeah well gotta have the best of both worlds, lol. :P And yes Ninja Gaiden 2 will be awesome.

Good thing it will be multiplatTimstuff

Is that because NGS is on the PS3 ? If so, can I assume that MGS4 is coming to the 360 since both MGS1 and 2 were multiplatform ?

[QUOTE="Prid3r"]Don't expect it to be a succes in NA . Xbox sold like crap in japan , so barely anybody over there played NG/NGB, and yet , NGS for the PS3 still sold like crap ( wonder why :P ) . In NA , lot of people owned the Xbox and alot of people got to play NG and NGB .So don't expect better sells then those we see here .Slashkice

Can I borrow your time machine? Ya know, since NGS hasn't even been out for a week yet.

You don't need a time machine, just some common sense. Just cause you wasted 599 USD on a paperweight doesn't mean lots of other people will.

You bought a big black box with Sony on it and wasted money. I should put Sony on some empty cardboard boxes and I bet cows would buy them.

no they didn't :| where the heck are you pulling this crap from?

i can understand that you don't want to read this entire thread, but all of your points have already been shot down. another xbox fanboy even posted a link debunking you :P

I'm not surprised, Japanese gamers have poor tastes in games...SpaceDragonMan

actually, besides FPS games, they pretty much like the same games we do :|

Because it started out on Xbox, and they hate Xbox, and now, it is too late even for a Japanese system to save the franchise because no one cares about it.

i wasn't trying to own you, you just claimed something pretty ignorant.

Japanese people like JRPGs, guess what, so do we! the send a lot of them over here, and we do buy a lot of them too.

you also got Fighting games, Epic games,racing games, Nintendo games.... i think there's a pretty neutral liking of games here.

Japanese like brain training... BrainAge was another top seller here. Katamari? what? crazy Japanese game? we like it too!

hey man, don't blamethe indifferent smiley, it's there for a reason :|

Why are people shocked? An RPG selling better than an action game in japan? are you guys new to the game world?
