Yeah, Ninja Gaiden 2 is being published by Microsoft, but what about Ninja Gaiden 2: Sigma, or Ninja Gaiden 2: Pi, or Ninja Gaiden 2: "Insert Greek Letter Here!"?

This would be similar to what Capcom did with Nintendo when they released Street Fighter II: The SNES was the only console that saw Street Fighter II, but there was the Genesis with Street Fighter II: Chamipon Edition.

Team Ninja could work their way around this, and no, I am not implying that PS3 owners can expect another Ninja Gaiden, just trying to show nothing is inpossible as a few people like to make it seem.

I really think you're underestimating the intelligence of the Microsoft legal team. There is no way Team Ninja (or any other developer) will get out of a Microsoft contract.

In case you haven't noticed, MS has gotten away with everything short of killing a national leader - and then tea bagging the corpse - in broad daylight without more than a slap on the hand over the past 15 years.

 And this wouldn't even be one of their more complex projects.

Games being published by first parties do not appear on competing systems in the generation in which they are developed. It's simply never happened.

While the actual wording of the contract may be complex, I'm sure the agreement is rather simple: we pay the money, you make the game for our system. The end. How and why would Microsoft allow for any other arrangement when they're shelling out millions of dollars?
