Snag the Wii-U and wait for the 720 and PS4 next year?
Ooooooooor perhaps go with the cheapest possible. Black Friday's coming up, so select and make your first pick : P

No they didn't. They just didn't say they wouldn't do it definitively.

No new improve version of NG for PS3 & 360?

I've had a huge gut feeling for awhile now that they'll release the new version on X360/PS3 next year. I'm sure they're going to take feedback from Razor's Edge and make improvements since Razor's Edge is already showing alot of disappointments. Go figure.

The problem is that nothing has been announced and Nintendo is publishing RE. If we do get a Sigma version or something similar, it will not be precisely the same game. On the positive side, it will likely be further refined and have more content. I'm hoping it also comes at $20 as an apology for me having to buy NG3 first. Luckily the stuff in that Collector's Edition was all extremely cool so I don't actually consider the purchase itself a waste, but that game...

That was a typical PR-motivated non-answer. Trust me when I say that what they said there does not mean what you're hoping it does.

Well what I'm waiting is nothing that will be free XD

In the best case free patches to change the gameplay and paid DLC, but it's really likely that we will see a third version (with TN a simple porting is less probable) of the game.

There will not be a patch for NG3 at this point because it'll cost money and be difficult to monetize since most people will have traded it in and not be looking for DLC. It'll be a brand new SKU if we get anything at all.

Ninja Gaiden 3, the latest entry of the Ninja Gaiden 3 was released earlier this year and more than one gamer was disappointed with the game: the game was mostly criticized for being way too streamlined with a shallow battle system and for having none of the depth and real challenge the series is known for: Tecmo Koei wanted to reach a wider audience and in trying to do so alienated most of the fan base, a fan base looking for a more hardcore experience.
It seems like Tecmo-Koei wants to give the gave a second chance by releasing an updated version of the game, just like they did with Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2: a listing from Amazon France shows Ninja Gaiden 3 Sigma set for release on March 5th 2013 on both Ps3 and Xbox 360. No other information is currently available on the game: given how Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, released some days ago on Wii u has received an overall better reception, thanks to the tweakings on the game and the additional content, including Ayane from the Dead Or Alive series as a playable character with her own skill set, we can expect Ninja Gaiden 3 Sigma to have a similar approach, if not being the Ps3 and Xbox 360 versions of Razor’s Edge.
2013 is going to be a busy year for Team Ninja since Ninja Gaiden 3 Sigma wouldn’t be the only Ninja Gaiden release: Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma Plus is headed towards PsVita in early 2013.

Not sure I should take it seriously at this point since it's only a rumor, but I'm sure as heck looking forward to this if I don't get a Wii U : D

Eh. Honestly PS3 and 360 don't need it since I doubt a lot of people who played 3 already would rebuy it. People probably wont' buy it in general. So TN probably won't chance it but who knows.

Unless they create a good commercial for advertisement & a $29.99 price tag, maybe that will work.

Maybe. I also think it depends on how well the Wii U version may sell. Also don't forget the consideration that TN and Nintendo are pals lol.
