My guess is they misunderstood the XB360 NG game comments. XB360 is set to get NG2 and not this NG1.5. Porting NG1.5 would create workload for presumably short returns, unless NG2 is a long way off and they want a filler.
High Res Ninja Gaiden Sigma Pics = wow
- Thread starter Hardknock
- Start date
It could be engine related, where they're trying to work out something for their cross-platform games, like Fatal Frame, but leaned on the PS3 side first. (Perhaps considering the Xbox side more dependable for an NG game and wanting to lead off things on the PS3 when there's less competition.)
FF may not seem like that similar gameplay, but then again they could be preparing for, say, a new Rygar or similar games and are leading things off with their strong license. ^_^

I think the arguement that neither Tekken 5 or SC3 didn't sell well because of the fact there were 8 fighting titles around doesn't hold much weight.
Surely those who bought the previous titles would have supported the sequels and new customers would buy the latest releases of said franchise, plus the fact that the consumer user base would have exploded, which would all indicate to increased sales.
Or just maybe fans have become bored of the same old crap, I personally think Tekken sucks, and i much prefer DOA.
Virtua Fighter however is in a class of it's own, not that VF can be considered a PS franchise, it's just more luck that it ended up on the PS2, with Sega bailing out of the console race and all.
Just out of curiosity will Tekken 6 be online ?

That's simply not the case. Franchise updates do not automatically translate into sales. EA Sports Game Year + 1: Roster Update does, but there have been quite a few franchises where the sequels did not outsell the predecessors. On the PS2, I believe MGS3, Burnout 4, and Silent Hill 4 were all outsold by their predecessors. A franchise update is a pretty safe bet, but by no means a guarantee.
the latest pics on the thread worked earlier, but it seems they've run out of bandwidth now
Is Ninja Gaiden (either of them) in the 360 backwards compatability list?
Rumble Rose sold 5 million copies!!!
Surely you jest!
It is but Ninja Gaiden Black and maybe the hurricane packs still have some problems.
Actually, I'd say sequels rarely outsell the originals, at least since the start of the 3d consoles. Prince of Persia is a major exception with The Warrior Within blowing away The Sands of Time in sales.
I think Resi2 also outsold 1. I could be wrong though
I think so too, though I'm not sure if it outsold all versions of RE1. RE1 was on PSX, Saturn, and PC, and had director's cuts, though I don't know if the director's cuts made it to all the systems. PC sales of both RE and RE2 are probably marginal though.
Actually a very nice interview, for once.

Thanks for the heads up. It is quite a good interview. I can't wait to see what they end up deciding for multiplayer.
edit: oh just saw... there are four pages to the interview
So....they're not really pushing the hardware? Itagaki better not find out about this comment.
Oh my...
