Namco Bandai's cutesy role-playing game Eternal Sonata—n e Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream in Japan—is (mistakenly) largely regarded as an Xbox 360 exclusive. Today, we know for sure that the tri-Crescendo developed RPG is to be multi-platform, courtesy of the ESRB.

Although the game has been honored with the Xbox 360 bundle treatment in its native Japan, the game was never branded with an "Only On Xbox 360" descriptor. While the game is almost definitely coming to the PLAYSTATION 3, don't be surprised if that particular version sees a bit of a delayed release so Namco gets their co-marketing dollars.

While we await the impending official confirmation, let's just enjoy this new world of non-exclusives, where Xbox 360 owners and PS3 owners can live in harmony and discuss the finer points of cel-shaded adventuring in the dreamworld of Polish composer Fr d ric Chopin. Michael McWhertor
