Eternal Sonata to the PS3, Confirmed?



"Go make yourself some popcorn and watch the madness as Namco Bandai just can't put the information regarding the PS3 version of Eternal Sonata back in the bottle. We've found it strange that Eternal Sonata was completely missing from the ESRB site for a while now, despite the Xbox 360 version being rated T back in April and scheduled to release next week, but the listing magically reappeared today with the PS3 still listed as a platform. Just to be clear, the ESRB lists their information directly from the publisher.

Namco Bandai continues to list Eternal Sonata as strictly for the Xbox 360, but Famitsu reported otherwise and says the PS3 version of Eternal Sonata will be out in Japan next spring. A few days ago even Namco Bandai's own site listed Eternal Sonata for the PS3 before they decided to pull the information hours later. We really have no idea why Namco Bandai is sitting on this info, but the fact that they won't acknowledge it at this point is laughable. Namco Bandai can't seem to craft a proper message on Beautiful Katamari either."Joystiq


OK, there have been a metric ton of these stories on the blogs lately and I have one big question: SO FREAKIN WHAT? The story states the game won't be out for the PS3 until next spring. By then about 30+ games will be out if not more. No one is going to remember or care about this title by then. The XBOX 360 is not winning the console war over the PS3 because it has more exclusives. It is winning because it has MORE GAMES. So if the PS3 is getting Eternal Sonata, GREAT. But it certainly doesn't change anything...
