Beautiful Katamari an Xbox 360 exclusive?

Posted Jun 14, 2007 at 11:28PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: Microsoft, N'Gai Croal, Namco Bandai, Newsweek, Sony

Will Xbox 360 have the Royal Rainbow all to itself? At least, that's what Newsweek's N'Gai Croal is speculating. He points out the trend that's been happening recently in Namco Bandai. Cases in point:

Ridge Racer 6 was released as a 360-exclusive launch title for the 360. It should be noted that the Ridge Racer franchise has always been associated with the PlayStation consoles. However, Ridge Racer 7 became a PlayStation 3 exclusive.

Also, Ace Combat 6, the latest addition to the previously Sony PlayStation-only franchise, was introduced as a timed Xbox exclusive game - with a PS3 version to be released after some time.

See any patterns? Croal supposes that Namco is in the process of "flirting" with Microsoft, though it could not let go of its long-time relationship with Sony. Well, whatever drama there may be, it's not impossible that the same thing will happen with the quirky little favorite that is the Katamari franchise.

Croal's source did mention that Beautiful Katamari, the upcoming sequel to the PlayStation 2 hit, We Love Katamari, will roll into the batch of video games that will be released as Xbox 360 exclusives, and will most probably be announced at the upcoming E3 event.

PS3 owners need not be alarmed, however. The Newsweek blogger did note that none of the games were entirely lost to Sony; they eventually made their way back into the PlayStation 3 console.

But he emphasizes that Sony's currently weak PS3 sales are what may be causing the problem. Sony is not strong enough to hold on to its supposedly exclusive games and franchises. Microsoft's aggressive courting of Japanese game publishers are also to be taken into account as well, and if the current trend goes on, everything that previously belonged to Sony may eventually be found alongside Microsoft.

This story sucks? This story rocks!

MAN DAS WOLLT ICH POSTEN !! xD

# not going to happen — Guest 2007-06-15 01:21

If it wasn't going to be on the PS3 why would they feature it in PSM? This is just stupid.

# agreed — Guest 2007-06-15 01:30

yet again blatant flame bait news posted to a site i'm increasingly tired with!!!

# Again? — Jin Wu 2007-06-15 01:40

Ridge Racer has been on the Nintendo DS, 64, GBA, mobile phones besides the PSOne, 2, and 3. Why is this STUPID theory even posted here?

You guys are worst then the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorists!

How about trying to report news instead of making up your own?

# Yeah cuz that makes sense! — hush404 2007-06-15 02:06

Ignore systems that have motion control that could make the game that much kewler and go to the system without the motion control, good thinking!

I agree with Jin Wu - "How about trying to report news instead of making up your own?"

# should be for wii and ps3 rather then ps3 and 360 — Guest 2007-06-15 03:12

even from the start this game should be for the wii and ps3 >_< 360 is going to be the same as i was playing for the ps2 and psp...i want something new not the same like the last 3 games. (going for the ps3 version.)

# Wow lol — Guest 2007-06-15 04:17

its funny. even if it were a 360 exclusive... i dont really care lol. this game is g4y in my opinion.
