Ninja Gaiden II sales top 1 million

In less than three months since release.

Microsoft has announced that sales of Ninja Gaiden II have topped the 1 million mark.

The Xbox 360 exclusive was released in June. Since then more than 412,000 copies have been shifted in the US alone, racking up USD 25 million in sales.
