I don\'t think 2D graphics would hurt the sells of the game that much (no more than the small Xbox userbase is goin\' to hurt it..okay, I know that was low..) . However, I do blame Sony for the whole "if its 2D it will suck" mentality. When the PSX first came around they refused to let developers do anything remotely 2D, no matter how great an idea it was. Thus this whole 3D revolution was born and guess what? A lot of 3D games still can\'t live up to their 2D counterparts and if Tecmo isn\'t careful, Ninja Gaiden may very well suffer the same fate.
