Eternal Sonata And Katamari... On The PS3?
Despite earlier assertions that both Beautiful Katamari and Eternal Sonata would both be Xbox 360 exclusives, news comes to the contrary. Namco Bandai's website is now listing both games as also being available on the PS3 with launch dates "TBD." In addition, Beautiful Katamari is also being listed for the Wii with another "TBD launch date.
So it seems like Sony isn't the only one losing "exclusives" these days. I'm just wondering how long it will be until we see the majority of games released across all platforms. It would be nice to think that console owners would have a choice, especially when it comes to bigger titles, but then how would fanboys be able to start massive flame wars of anti console hate? Strike that, I'm sure they would find a way.

Other stuff like this: 360, beautiful katamari, eternal sonata, ps3, wii
the PS3 versions have now been removed from the official sites...looks like either
1) They are obligated to not say anything...probably saving the announcement for TGS
2) Someone made a booboo and it's going to cost him/her their head!!
most likely 1, though.
Having grown up in the pre-crash era where not only were cross-platform releases the norm, but the console makers themselves (Atari, Coleco, Mattel, Magnavox) were putting out games for their competitors' consoles because games were what made money, this is pretty refreshing.
Also, keep in mind that Katamari games were Sony exclusives prior to this, so even if it had been a 360 exclusive, it wouldn't have been a step away from the cross-platform thing. (No idea about Eternal Sonata, having never played or even seen it.)
