Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360)

Ninja Gaiden 2 is a spectacle. Its predecessor has come to be remembered for a steep but perfectly pitched difficulty curve - but firing up NG2 for the first time is a reminder of just how cinematic and exciting the whole thing is, too. With Ninja Gaiden, we came for the eye-catching, beautiful combat, and stayed for the challenge. Ninja Gaiden 2 ramps up the first part of that formula to a whole new level.

One thing to note is that there have been mixed reports about the review build. Someone mentioned that the review build have issues that have been resolved for retail release -- sort of similar scenario as with Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360. Yet, their is also talk that it might not be the case since PAL retail version still have issues. (In either case, that info should be taken with the grain of salt.)
That said, the forecasts 2.57M copies sold (as of May 27, 2008 @ 11:10am) seems a bit high. The original Ninja Gaiden wasn't selling that great. It took few years just to pass 1 mil mark and that is including the release of Ninja Gaiden Black.
With Ninja Gaiden 2 is being released in almost a week, having received some what lower score might have an impact on sales. I would take a guess that outside of core Ninja Giaden fans -- most will either rent or skip it all together.[ Lurker ] [ Level 12 ] [ Rank: 926 ]bids

I think at this point it might be good idea to start debating on whether the game will actually clear 1mil. :)
As for Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) sales, there was talk on sales of the original on 1up, I believe at the time of the announcement or sales of Sigma... I honestly don't recall.
