obviously its not necessary, i was thinking the same, but GTA 4 was a bigger system seller for the 360 than the ps3, which surprised me

System Seller: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Reason: Because the Metal Gear fanbase from the previous generation is larger than the Ninja Gaiden fanbase from the previous generation. If we say Metal Gear Solid 3 is the number of real fans for the game, let's expect a minimum of 3.5 million sales. Not consoles mind you, as some may already be owning a Playstation 3. In contrast, the Ninja Gaiden franchise hasn't had a single game over the platinum mark.

Also to aid Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on the software side, there isn't any blockbuster hit on the same level as Metal Gear on the Playstation 3 yet.

Not to mention the amount of hype behind it. NGII will sell well on 360. But potential customers already have 360...most of them anyway.

It'll probably be a platinum hit this time. Dual platinum likely not...

theres only been 1 NG game(3D series). MGS is a fully established popular franchise. NG is also much less mainstream-friendly than MGS.

System Seller? As in "A title that will move consoles"?

Tough question. I really don't see either one as a "system seller", but since MGS3 sold better than NG, I would have to go with MGS4.

NG + NGblack sold over 1 million, and thesimexchange.com predicts sales of 6 millon for MGS4 and 2.5 million for NG2

I suppose I would assume MGS4 as it's probably the biggest most anticipated title that will be released for the ps3 up to this point, but I think NG II itself will sell more copies. As far as the U.S. is concerned, analysts predicted GTA IV would help move ps3s, I can only assume they will say the same about MG. And again like most months the Wii will outsell both of them combined, with no big releases I can pinpoint.

I don't think so, but it will be a better game.
