Like other Namco Bandai games that we all thought were Sony PlayStation stalwarts, Beautiful Katamari is closing in on an exclusivity deal with Microsoft for the Xbox 360. So says an article in the Newsweek blogs.

The article says it got the information from sources close to Namco Bandai, indicating that Microsoft's aggressive drive to snare exclusives from Japanese developers is finally paying off.

This comes as a big surprise as many who have thought that Beautiful Katamari for the PlayStation 3 is a foregone conclusion considering all the press that's been written from official sources.

Newsweek's article cited the trend of Namco Bandai games pledging allegiance to the Xbox 360 as a potential indicator of things to come. So far, Eternal Sonata and Ace Combat have done just that. Neither Microsoft nor Namco Bandai have made comments or hints towards such a development in their business plans.

Readers are reminded that everything is still just a rumor. We will confirm or debunk the rumor as soon as official statements are made by the legitimate parties.
