It looks like any hopes Xbox 360 owners may have regarding seeing Ninja Gaiden Sigma ported over from the PlayStation 3 have but all been dashed. Talking with Japan's Famitsu Xbox 360, Tomonobu Itagaki had this to say about the whole deal:
"We're getting requests to port Sigma to the Xbox 360, but we currently have no such plans. But no worries, 360 owners! Team Ninja is still supporting your platform.We're taking new challenges on the Nintendo DS, and the same is true for the Xbox 360. In order to respond to our fans' expectations, we're always making sequels and new games."
Since Xbox fans were already treated to Ninja Gaiden Black, and PlayStation 2 owners were left out in the cold last time, Itagaki has no qualms about his decision. Before you get all hateful, and decide to storm the gates of Team Ninja, I'd do a double-take on the last sentence in the first quote. That alone says a lot.
So I ask the Xbox 360 owners who were hoping to get away with not buying a PS3 due to the fact that most of the games seem to be Microsoft bound anyway -- does this even matter?

Good coup for PS3 though, it needed something.
I'd also be stupid enough to purchase Sigma for the 360 after having bought it for the PS3, just to get the achievements ... so thanks for saving me $60, Team Ninja.
no
Do the beans have achievement points? Leaderboards? DLC?
Magic fucking beans? What are those?
Is this a fucking bean?

I mean... is this a fucking bean?
My particular beans were banned from Xbean Live for being modded. :(
$400 and some nice games that I won't already find on the Xbox 360? Yes, it would.
Have you checked out the new mods from llama bean?
I will be happy when the NG2 launches on the 360. Let the cows have their old game, not like there is anything else to play on it.
In fact, the guys at techmo (According to Game Informer) seem to think that because it's gotten a new playable character and graphical updates, that it's not really the same game anymore.
Is the first boss still the last boss without the dark dragon blade? Yeah, probably. Am I going to follow the same path as Ryu did in Black? Yeah, probably. So if I'm one of the gamers that after spending all of the last console generation under a rock, not playing Black, this is going to be an all new experience?
Sweet.
Guys, PS3 is getting Ninja Gaiden Sigma.. ( a remake of black for next gen consoles)
Xbox 360 is getting: NINJA GAIDEN 2
Itagaki "mentioned it" again a few months ago in EGM... Just be patient.
