Well, the deveoper's can't claim ingorance of PS3's architecture since they created Ninja Gaiden Sigma already. I've been playing Ninja Gaiden Black on my 360 for the first time during the past few weeks, and I got to say, that is one rocking game, it just takes practice, but pays off with big rewards. NGB looks so good it's amazing that's it a backwards-compatible title. Sigma does look tons better though.

Mmm... a sequal. This will be a blind buy/must have. Hopefully it will be as pretty as NG Sigma.

You ever read an Itegaki interview?
(The guy is seriously full of himself!)
NG2 is 360 only -- he hasn't deigned to touch a PS3 yet; NGS was farmed out to new-hires so they could get their feet wet.
Since he fancies himself a gaming artiste any PS3 version likely won't be started until he's done with the 360 version. Best you can hope for is 12-18 months after 360 release and I'd be shocked if the 360 version gets in during 08.
Don't hold your breath.
