There is no way this game is not coming to the PS3. The first one is selling well on the PS3 and this is a Japanese company. If it didn't come out on the PS3 that would be like releasing Halo 3 only in Japan on the PS3.

Did you forget all the time they just spent making (not porting) Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the "Lame system with only 4 million units sold" ? Get your head out of your @$$. Trying to start flame wars because youre too broke to afford two systems. If you're that poor you shouldn't be playing video games to begin with.

2.3 - Itagaki is faithful to the 360.

Itagaki has backed the Xbox and 360. He also said that NG2 is for 360. He never spoke of a PS3 version. But I don't think MS paid for exclusivity, so it could come to PS3 later.

It is only on 360 because it`s going to take advantage of 360`s easier programming and 512 ram GPU, Making it multiplatform would require at least 5 million$ in production cost from sonys bank account.

2.5 - haha ok so there just going to say screw this we need to make less money

Lets make it a XBox 360 exclusive. Yup that makes perfect sense. Anyways I wont be surprised if it comes on the PS3 only means more money in there pocket unless M$ pays for timed exclusivity. Either way it doesn't matter the ps3 has 512 RAM to and M$ ram is slower and all sony has to do is give us one of those magical firmware updates that lowers how much ram the OS takes up then what will stop it from coming to our system then?

2.6 - You forget

Tecmo is danm near a MS exclusive company, just like Square is pretty much a Sony company. Anything associated with new next gen FF goes to the Ps3, anything associated with DOA goes to the 360, sure theres a few straggler games that they push to Ninja Gaiden Sigma, FFwhich ever one was on the 360. But rest assured this one is a 360 exclusive.

Ps2 couldn't handle it. So it could come to the ps3 besides why the hell would he port it to the ps4 8-10 years later? Seems kinda stupid to me unless your joking.

they didnt say the PS4 was comming out in 8-10 years, they said they want the PS3 to last about 8-10 years, doesnt mean the PS4 cant be released before the PS3 isnt in production anymore, just like the PS2's are still being made. they (game websites) expect a PS4 to be released around the same time as the next Xbox, about 2011-2012

4 - This game will never come to PS3

It is made by Itigaki. He is solely an XBOX 360 developer and has stated this many times.

The only reason why Ninja Gaiden was made for PS3 was bc it was many years later and lead by a different team by Hayashi. Team Ninja does not do ports of any of their games.

According to the insider, the game will be shown on the 360 first and might even launch on the 360 first because of the relationship btn the developers and the Msft. However, the game has not been announced for the PS3 "AT THE MOMENT". The PS3 version might not be revealed at TGS but an announcement will be sure to follow. you never say never.

Dude Itigaki has handed the torch over to Hayashi's team. If you had the Ninja Gaiden Sigma extra disc you would know that. Itigaki is just there to oversee the projects and does not develop the games. I have a hard time believing that a Japanese dude is only interesting in developing for a american console that doesn't sell in his country.

Actually in an interview a while ago, he said that he got Hayashi to do sigma as a way to test his skills because he wants to expand his team but wont do that unless he has another leader with him because otherwise he feels that having more programmers is useless if there aren't more people in charge.

11 - I think in one interview

Itagaki said
"Team Ninja will be busy for the next 5 years"
and when asked about ninja Gaiden
he said that Team Ninja will focus on only one system so they can perfect A.I so they don't "disappoint" thier fans expectations...

and now that the system has been announced...
I have B I G doubts this will come to Ps3 anytime soon...
Team ninja is also gonna be working on Project Progressive on Xbox360...
Itagaki also said He perfered the Xbox360 as a Console.......

Alot of Odds against the Ps3 version...
good luck though
Edit-
found it this is from an O L D interview...like somewhere near sep 06 or so.....this is just a small part...
"IGN: It’s really interesting, some of the first developers didn’t get their kits until very late, and they were using G5 Macs to program for, and they weren’t used to programming for multiple processors. What do you use the six different threads on the three cores for?
Tomonobu Itagaki: Well, for instance, if you were to shut down two of the threads in the engine, then you wouldn’t see some of the hair blowing or some of the ribbons or strings moving in the wind. So even on the same hardware, how we really use the hardware really depends on the title. So if you’re working on a game like Ninja Gaiden 2, where it’s really important that enemies are smart and challenging, then we might use up to two threads on AI. But for a game like this, where our main goal is to make the girls look good, then we can use two threads for hair and cloth physics. So it’s really important to make the hardware do what you want to show"

Why is it that the only insult you can truly come up with is if someone doesn't have a picture for their avatar? This isn't myspace, this is a news forum. It's not like if said person has no avatar, then they're automatically of the lower ranks. Sothefu(kwhat if they dont have an avatar? I dont have one! I never bash on people. The reason why I, and many other avatarless people here don't have an avatar is because we don't feel the need to have one.

I saw earlier today that you've made quite a few remarks on people without avatars. Like they just made an account really fast so they can bash people. We didn't do it for that. I don't put an avatar up because I don't feel the need to. Please, do everyone a favor, and shut up about the no picture thing. If that is the only comeback you can have then you, sir have got to be a pathetic disgrace to all human kind.

Please, go kill yourself, no one will notice you're gone.
