Pretty fanboy statement there kingofwale. If NG2 should go multiplatform then a huge amount of games should. Let's just consider MGS4.
MGS4 has sold around 4.5-5 times as much if you give it an extra week. I would be willing to bet the budget for MGS4 was more than 5 times that of NG2. MGS4 advertising budget alone was probably bigger than NG2's budget. I saw the multiple adverts so many times, massive poster in shibuya, adverts running constantly on a huge amount of trains in Japan (those adverts are extremely expensive)
NG2 was published by Microsoft, MGS wasn't published by sony.
Sigma's sales on PS3 were pretty awful. It sold 380K LTD in America and Japan, NG2 has sold 440K in 6 weeks.
If we assume an average next gen game budget requires 500k to break even, NG2 already is in good profit.
Porting to the PS3 is known to be troublesome for developers. I believe it was criterion that said it was much easier going from Ps3 to 360 than the other way.
