[QUOTE="LOKI-RA"]Give the console a year before we start dissecting it. I remember the xbox 360 having a rough first year as well. ramey70

the "give it more time" thing doesn't work anymore. the 360 did better than the ps3 has in its time frame.

Of course it has. But success of one doesn't deem failure of another. Especially when you consider all factors from an objective standpoint.

GI: Games like Code Cronos and Ninja Gaiden 2 have been sort of waiting in the wings for quite a while now. Do you think we'll be hearing some announcements about those titles in 2007?

Itagaki: I'd like to show everybody some of the new stuff that we've been working on in the near future. The only problem with that is that when the other developers see what we're doing, they're going to lose all of their motivation to create any game in the same genre, because there's no way they can beat it.

GI: Games take so long to develop now, and Team Ninja games set a pretty high standard-and people like that. Is there ever a temptation to grow the team exponentially to produce more titles?

Itagaki: There is such a thing as an appropriate size. It's like the armed forces-you can increase the number of foot soldiers as much as you want, but if you don't have enough commanders to lead them you're not going to get the same amount of fighting strength. In other words, if you double the size you're not going to double the fighting strength if there aren't enough commanders to lead them. In that same regard, one of my biggest challenges is to start help along a new generation of directors, one of which is [Yosuke] Hayashi, who's doing Ninja Gaiden Sigma, in order to get more commanders to get more troops.

I laughed at the first and couldn't agree more with the second. I like Itagaki.

It is close.  This was updated June 3rd. 

I'll :lol: if MP8 wins the overall sales battle...a no online game scoring a 6.5 here and a 5.2 on IGN very close in sales to a 9.2 sequel that has online as well as tons of customization.

Yeah thatd be great for gaming. People on this board are idiots sometimes. 

They should really be creating new intellectual property. I don't think Warcraft and Starcraft can go any longer in their current state.

Starcraft has only had 1 game and an expansion, and Warcraft is one of the most profitable series in gaming at the moment. So I don't see what your point is. 

OMG i'm sooo late, i just literally found out like 2 mins ago.
