Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Ninja Gaiden II sells 1 million copies worldwide

Tecmo announced 500 000 Ninja Gaiden Sigma sales (shipped) within the first week of release ...so I dont think this is a very big deal.

Besides ,its obvious thats shipped data.



Around the Network

its almost certainly shipped: Game (one of the biggest retail shops in the UK) have the game on the shelves for £20 already (nearly half price) which shows that there is a lot of stock left to ship.



Thats awesome hard game but deserving



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

Xbox live:mywiferocks

Its obviously shipped, not sold to customers.

Im only saying it because everyone else is



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

ok, now where is the SOB that said MGS4 is a niche title and NGII was not?



Around the Network

Amazing game, absolutely deserves it.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

The market was overstuffed with these games, within the first month stores were knocking the price from $60 to 30-40 dollars. I doubt this game will see much more sales.

Like what games have oversaturated this market?

This year we have had Devil may cry 4, no more heroes, ninja gaiden 2...and now star wars unleashed. Maybe Dynasty warriors -whatever numebr if you want to count that.

There were weeks where more than 4 FPS games hit the market, and we are talking 4 over the entire year. So the issue is that the market is owercrowded with action hack and slash games.

Devil May Cry 4 sold really well beause its more approachable than NG series. Being an xbox exclusive last gen, not a lot of people have had the chance to play it. And from what most people tell me that didn't play it...the general opinion of this game is "I heard its really hard...I don't like hard".

So that is the problem with NG2 sales...people seem scared to try it. Otherwise 1 mil is not a bad sales figure at all...

 

I was trying to say that NG2 had too many copies at retail, not that there are too many games of this genre on the market.  I'll try to word it different for next time.  But 1mil units is a lot, just that the market still has a nice supply of these games and the price has already been dropped so soon into the games life.



Good for it. I am happy that the game sold better than expected, but this means that a third part is going to be made. That's all fine and dandy, but the only thing is Itagaki is no longer going to be the lead. Is this going to be a detriment to the series, or a blessing? I vote on the former. He may be a arrogant guy (I kind of like that about him), but he knows how to make good games.



Just kiss the tip.


Nice to see this...I'm not the bit surprised.



Wait, the best-selling? So the first NG didn't sell a million?
