Japan's never been into Ninja Gaiden, but yeah it's bad sales-wise.

I thought Ninja Gaiden was doing better in Japan since itagaki-san left?

I know he focused on maxiumizing Western apile with the seires but ccurent Team Ninja is very diferent. 

didn't NGS2 sell well on PS3 in Japan?


Naa it's always been Western focused. The numbers for Japan's sales are miniscule compared to those in the West for any Ninja Gaiden.

oh, what do you think they would need to do to increase Japanese appeal?

I expected better but well I always expect too much.

60K still decent. Hopefully Vita can hold above 20k for a while.

So Vita 33% higher than we predicted after the confusingly worded announcement? Good to see

In one of those expectations threads, people have been dropping lines like "Anything below 200k in the week of the price cut is a failure.", so Vita underperformed.


wow lol, people really need to put their heads out of thier unrealisitc expections. Still good for the Vita :).

I hate to deviate from the topic, but I just have to add that I tried playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus on Vita. The controls frustrated me so much. The change of camera angles and the left joystick make this game the worst action adventure title I've played. (let me just say that it was not responsive enough) if Ninja Gaiden 2 plays anything like the first one, I can see why there isn't much love for it.

I honestly can't see what makes Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus so great. I tell Ryu to go left, and then I make a sharp right & try to jump, but he jumps left. Argg.. so frustrating. First Vita game I quit and am quite happy for it.

interesting to note about Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is that it is a port of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 PS3 from 2009 with only a small amount of added content on the VITA at 6000 yen when the PS3 version would b a fraction of that now.
