Your example sucks since the only reason it is coming to PS3 is because of a name difference. Ninja Gaiden 2 is still only for Xbox 360 and Publisher is Microsoft. This has somethign to do with a deal done between Microsoft and Tecmo. Now the way Tecmo worked around this was to simply name it Ninja
Gaiden Sigma 2 . I think it even says Only on Playstation 3 for Sgima 2. So that is not the best example.

It's the same game......or do you believe that if Halo came out and was called "Halo Sigma", it would come to the PS3 simply because of a slight name change?

Slap yourself

Again just loo kat the box art on both they both say Only on PS3 or X360. Depending on which game you are looking at. It is the same game at heart but this is how they got around this. Why don't you slap yourself instead. Tecmo made some sort of deal with Microsoft with Ninja Gaiden 2 and in order to get around it they had to do a name change plus they added new gameplay and features to make it even more different. Halo was a poor example because the franchise is owned by Microsoft so it would never see the light of day on PS3. We are talking about Ninja Gaiden which is owned by Tecmo so this is a little different. Both games are exclusive to that said system  according to Tecmo. Hence, why they both say the "Only for" crap on them. Your example still sucked. Another good example of this is Cross Edge for PS3 and Cross Edge Dash for X360 it may be the same game at heart but again the 2 versions are exclusive to said console. Nuff said!

*facepalm*

Yeah, they made some sort of deal. It's called PUBLISHING.

Somebody else please explain to this guy why he's wrong, and why he's the only one who disagrees with the example of NG2 being an Microsoft published game that ended up on the PS3. I'm getting bored

Look when everyone calls Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 an exclusive to PS3 and when Tecmo owns the actual rights to the series. No matter how you slice it, it still is Tecmo's baby. BTW If you look Tecmo Published the game Ninja Gaiden 2 in Japan while Microsoft handled it only in NA and PAL. This is no different than when Microsoft Published Project Silpheed for Square-Enix in NA Published Tenchu Z for From Software in NA. This isn't a game that was solely Published by Microsoft they simply handled the publishing overseas for them is all. Perhaps we should just agree to disagree because we see it differently is all. I think your point would actually be valid if the game was Published by Microsoft in every region or if they actually owned the rights to the series.
