Ninja Gaiden 2 - Confirmed for X360 ; Unconfirmed for PS3 for at TGS

Here's something interesting to look at:

http://www.vgchartz.com/aweekly.php

In 6 weeks, NGS for PS3 has sold a whopping 106k copies.

Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox sold over 330k its first month. ;)

No offense, but it would seem that your logic here is flat backwards, lol. Did it ever occur to you that just maybe the reason that Ninja Gaiden is appearing on other platforms is because the the first one sold horribly on the first Xbox, and now the 360 is also a non factor in Japan? Team Ninja is not trying to make people buy more 360's, they are trying to get more people to BUY THEIR GAMES, lol. Going multiplat is the answer to that problem.

DSgamer64

uh no itagaki said sales dont matter to him, he wants to make a great game, and to do that it cant be multiplat, so that it can take advantage of the 360

No, sales never matter to developers do they, lol? Whatever you say, champ.

Yup, last gen it wasn't so bad cause a game could break 250,000 units (depending on the budget of course)and they would make a profit off the game. Now though a 40 million dollar game is going to require them to sell at least 500,000 copies to make a profit, and considering Ninja Gaiden isn't exactly GTA calibre from a sales standpoint, multiplatform is the only way they are going to make money off games from now on.

It's amazing how so many people have no friggin clue how well NG sold on Xbox.

Is Gamespot Korea reliable?

It sold roughly 700,000 copies over 2 years, excluding NGB. NGS has shipped 500,000 copies and it's been out for about a month. No-one knows the exact sales figures as far as I know, but it's doing quite well. Tecmo would be wise to make NG2 a bi-console release.

First of all, kid. NG for Xbox sold over 800k

Second, Itagaki has already established that the 360 is his primary console.

First off, I am certainly not a "kid", and I do not appreciate your "elitist" tone when I have said nothing offensive towards you. Secondly I never said that the 360 was not Itagaki's primary console. If you had read the points that I have made throughout the entire thread, all I was stating was that NG2 will eventually come to the PS3. I never specified when, I merely said it would, as is evidenced by Sigma being on the PS3.

Also, even though NG sold 800k on the Xbox, it was still not considered a major success, lol. And if they did not want to broaden the audience in order to try and generate more sales for NG2, they never would have brought Sigma to the PS3. All indications are that yes, NG2 will be a timed-exclusive for the 360....but it will eventually be on the PS3 as well.

However, it is all pure speculation at this point on all our parts. So no matter how smart, and tough you try and talk on the internet like you have something to prove, you still cannot say with any certainty or PROOF that NG2 will not eventually be on the PS3, just as I cannot with any certainty say that it will. But, all indications sure as hell do point in the direction that it more than likely will.

VGchartz is unreliable. The use no real real data because they aren't allowed to. They can only use estimates that they generate with a software script, just like Nexgenwars, and occasionally they will "fix" it if it's way different from the actual NPD numbers. At the end of the day though, the NPD is the only source that should be trusted.

So what will you say when NPD reports NGS at around 100K or less for the month of July?

It's called satire. And yes, I am well aware that 'bububu" is way played out, but it's quarter of 2 AM right now and I'm really running dry on material right now. But you gotta admit it's better than referring to someone as "kid" even when you have no idea what the person's age is.

So why don't you explain why DOAX1 sold less worldwide than NG but that didn't come to PS2/PS3

NGS came out 2 weeks into July. We won't know what it did for a full month until the august numbers come in.

Well, all I know is that this is not last generation anymore, and Ninja Gaiden is now a multiplat....like many other games are becoming this gen. What happened last generation with Team Ninja's games are irrelevant to what is going on now with Ninja Gaiden.

Put it this way, in my opinion I just do not see why in the hell they would put Sigma on the PS3 if they were not planning on going multiplat with NG2. It makes absolutely no sense for them to do so. I personally feel that they are just testing the waters with the PS3, and if Sigma continues to do well, then NG2 will more than likely end up on the PS3 at some point.

I could be wrong of course, but it just seems all but obvious to me that NG2 will eventually be multiplat, especially now that the first one is. We shall see.

It came out July 3 http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/post_msg.php?topic_id=25859671"e_msg_id=292177479

You don't lie well. ;)

hahahahahahaha!! I told you cows this last year....Itagaki has the final say, not some understudy who was given permission to port his game. And even if it does come out for PS3, don't expect it to be 6 months, thats laughable. Not only would it take time to do the port justice, but Itagaki is a cocky m0f0.....HE WONT LET ANYONE STEAL HIS THUNDER!!! NG2 TO X360 FTW :P

I didn't asked if you cared. DOAX1 actually sold better in Japan than Ninja Gaiden. If anything, you think Tecmo would push this game more.

But when was VF5 announced for the 360 compared to when it came out for the PS3?

the ps3 has potential to have the best ninja gaiden game since the developers have already developed the first game on ps3.ginglejangle

porting over the game engine from a Xbox title is hardly creating something worth praise. Itagaki has stated before that his home system for developing is the 360 platform. All the cows will ever recieve is the table scraps of his greatness being porting over by his right hand man. That may seem great to you, but I'd rather recieve the game from the master and not the apprentice.

Oops you're a year late.

So let me get this right. A 360 version has been confirmed but at the same time,nobody has confirmed that the PS3 will NOT be getting the game and lemmings are going crazy? Rrrrrrriiiiigght..... not that I care. I thought Sigma sucked on both Xbox and PS3 so I doubt I'll give a care about NG 2. I just find all the cow bashing funny is all.

Gamespot Papua New Guinea just confirmed that the PS3 version will be released 2 months after the 360 version!

Hope it isn't as hard this time lolblacktorn

Na the game should be harder...too many easy games these days

[QUOTE="blacktorn"]Hope it isn't as hard this time lolMasterTony

Na the game should be harder...too many easy games these days

I think they should keep it just as hard and I love the crap voice acting, more of the same please! I love it.

this game is one of the ones that made me get a 360...and theres a possibility to be released on the PS3...wtf ?Ipik_Fenris

whats funny is gamespot korea doesnt say anything about NG2 PS3

that gamers creed site added that in

Hope it isn't as hard this time lolblacktorn
