Beautiful Katamari official site has Xbox 360 (and Xbox 360 only)

Not so beautiful news for the PS3 owners who are latching onto hope of seeing The Prince on their consoles. In line with recent Namco Bandai whispers, yet another clue is toking up the flames of Beautiful Katamari being an Xbox 360 exclusive. This time around, the clue is rolling in from the official Beautiful Katamari website  itself.

As the observant folks at Siliconera point out, at the bottom of the game's official site, the only platform listed is a resounding "Xbox 360." Not a single breath of a "PlayStation 3" anywhere. We've screen capped the image below:

It's not an official confirmation just yet. Namco Bandai hasn't given any statement that Beautiful Katamari won't grace the PS3's Cell processor. However, their exclusion of the platform from the Japanese website does say quite a lot in itself. Even more so, as Siliconera reports, the website previously did have "PlayStation 3" tucked somewhere in the site. Now? Well, it's probably cosmic dust already. And for what it's worth, the official site doesn't speak of a Wii version either.

Is it worth it?

Hehe, in the screenshot, under 'Genre', it says: 'Romance&Beauty'. What kind of game is that, exactly? The OMG, Ponies! version of Katamary Damacy? I don't need that on my PS3, I'll wait for a more down'n'dirty hardcore version. ;)

hmm

I suppose

It's no surprise. PS2 has had two installments already and the new game looks to be almost exactly the same as the old games. It's pretty much making the game accessible to a broader audience, since PS3 owners can always just get the first two. A good way to go, IMO

Another sony game lost, and another 360 exclusive gained. I know its nothing new, but it still feels soooo good.

hmm

in that sense, you can say the same about Full Auto and Ridge Racer. Both sequels were PS3 exclusives. Yea you can say that they were the same games, but so is Katamari.

Hey, Anon

Looks like it's time to buy a 360!

ive thought about it

i have thought about it but unless someone gets region free going on that thing it aint gonna happen ive been a die hard kengo fan sence the first 1 on ps2 and imported 2 and 3 and even started reading kanji just to play them when kengo zero was only on xbox just about broke my heart but buying a japanese 360 for 2 games might be a little over the top

Anger issues

its people like you who give gamers the bad name of short tempers and always resorting to violence. So please, for the sake of the entire gaming community, never speak another work.
