You should rename your topic title to be more specific.

Anyhoo it's really hard to choose, but I would say NG2 mainly because there's more 360's in NA in comparison to ps3s.

I'm going with NG2 simply because it requires no prior knowledge of the series, making it easier for newer gamers to get into it, thus broadening its appeal. On the other hand MGS4 would just confuse the heck out of new gamers as they would have no idea what was going on.

MGSIV hasn't been confirmed for June in NA.

I think MGSIV will sell more though both in NA and worldwide in its first month of release and overall.

Having the bigger userbase doesn't ensure the most sales.

eg. GRAW on the 360 outsold the PS2 version.

lol.

You're betting the biggest 2008 PS3 game (after GT5) against a game whose predecessor, despite being probably the best action game ever made and being released in 3 versions, has been unable to break the platinum mark.

I'd advise you to do your research next time before making such boldly bizarre claims. MGS is a tried and true system-selling franchise. Ninja Gaiden is not.

lol there is no way NG2 will sell more. the first one didn't do that well on the xbox. NG2 is aimed at a small audience. MGS4 will destroy it in sales in NA never mind the world

You're kidding yourself if you think that's true. Honestly, a game with nearly three years of hype and is supposedly the last in the series vs a game that was just confirmed in September? MGS4 will be THE game to own when it's released, just like Gears was in Nov 06 and Halo last September. Not to mention, MGS2 was one of if not the best selling exlusive on the PS2 in its early life. Nevertheless, this is assuming MGS4 releases in June, so if it actually releases in April then yeah, NG2 will probably outsell it in June.

mgs4 will outsell ng2 worldwide, and probably in na. true there may be a lot more 360s sold obviously but the 360 has little to no love in Japan. it's mainly doing well in n.a. as every one knows. there will most likely be a huge spike in ps3 sales by the time mgs4 is nearing its release date.

Its hard to tell since the situation of each game has changed since its previous installment, MGS3 had the benefit of having a very large userbase, now it will be appearing on the console with the lowest userbase, while Ninja Gaiden had little to no advertising and the smallest userbase, while ninja gaiden 2 has the benefit of a larger userbase and a new publisher that advertises more.

Ninja Gaiden 2 will definitely have better advertising this time around. It deserves it.

Indeed, and I think its insane blood content will attract a lot of attention.

Now before cows start bashing NG2 for being "gimmicky", I would like to point out that GoW owes a lot of its popularity to it's violence. I can't remember how many GoW ads I saw with all the blood splatter, claiming it was the "most brutal game in history". Also the blood is merely an extension a very innovative gameplay function.

Hopefully casuals will not be too put off when they repeatedly get their asses beat into oblivion :?

the problem is the 360 will never reach those numbers because it totally bombed in japan. last gen japan accounted for over one third of all the ps2 sales thats like over 40 million united and still going, the 360 hasn't even broken 1 million yet and it been more than 2 years :lol:

probably mgs4 because people like guns and shooting stuff, and don't really like playing as japenese people with a game that has japenese culture in it. Although, I guess we do also like ninjas.. and blood..
