]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> No Eternal Sonata for the PS3, think Wii. Why? The PS3 still has a poor sales market.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @akuma587:
It's really approaching a the same level of doublespeak that's in politics. Like testifying endlessly that you don't recall anything that happened in your department. Only in this case, if the rumors are true, then the game will eventually come out, and they'll have to explain how they weren't aware of a game they developed. Maybe they're all hooked on Ambien, and they sleep-coded the PS3 version.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @Toasticus: oh yea I know they are the same game but different title.
I am just saying chances of it being in JP is higher than it then being localized is lower for the ps3.
Hence forth I say both game title. Stating that chances of Trusty bell to be in PS3 is relatively higher than it being localized to Eternal Sonata for the ps3. Sorry about the confusion

I'm not sure what you're thinking about 360 owners and the "US Market". A large number of 360 owners have a PS2. Final Fantasy wouldn't be the sales phenomenon it is without the US market.

Just because this thread is littered with death-cult fanboys (of both sides) doesn't mean the rest of the 360/US market is the same.

You watch. I think it will do fine, and I think it's headed to the PS3 eventually.

Then again, I seriously believe [certain other PS3 exclusive] is headed to the 360 eventually too ;)

Like you implied: everyone wants to make money.

Toasticus

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @MajoShinpan: hm... This is not as bad as Xbox fanboys hoping for MGS 4 to be in Xbox 360.

Chances of Eternal Sonata to be released on PS3 is low cause I highly doubt that it will fail in the Western and Asian Market. Trusty bell on the other hand, I still fell it will be released for the PS3 to capture the JP market.

Kirakun

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> It looks to be a fantastic game, I'm not surprised that PS3 fans are clamoring for it. Or, at least, spreading doom and gloom about its sales capacity on the 360.

Toasticus

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> Now there's really a lot of wishful thinking on the side of the PS3 fanboys.
Bringing up ludicrous arguments like "It doesn't have a 360 exclusive sticker, so it will come to the PS3" is just clutching for straws and reeks of desperation.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> What do you bet this flops on Xbox 360 in the US? I'm pretty sure it'll be on PS3, since they already had an earlier build for it. If it does flop even if they quit working on the PS3 build they might dig it back out to 'make the money'. Either way it seems like it could come to PS3.

I likely won't buy it either way, and I bought Grandia 3 and will pick up FolkSoul later. I'm still not sure why I bought that... that game was pretty unbearable after the first couple of hours of dialog. that said given the Xbox 360 fanbase and what the US market wants it seems like a hard sell.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> Dead or Alive 3 is one of the few, and the first, game to not sport an "Only on Xbox" stamp and not to be made on any other console. In fact, Dead or Alive 4 also doesn't sport an "Only on Xbox" stamp.

Leathersoup

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> There is no info about this being a timed exclusive, there is no info about this being eclusive and there is no info about this title ot ever hit PS3.

Games does not need to be 'exclusive' or have the stamp to never come to another console, some games with the stamp do reach themself to other consoles, some games without the stamp never do.

And if this title would hit PS3, I'm sure it would ben anounced by now.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @beem: maybe you should do yours. yes trustybell placed second in sales beating ninja gaiden by just 3,000 copies. It had many pre-orders in anticipation but the week after it dropped from second to 35th place and has sold shittily ever since.

That being said I enjoyed the demo. But with all the other games coming out in september I doubt ill be picking this one up right away.

Heihachi.vs.Kazuya

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> I was under the impression this WAS exclusive for 360... The general audience of 360 users seem to steer towards the American-developed games. This game could help PS2 owners see some more "international" flavor on the 360, but if it happens to be only a timed exclusive, than a lot of people who are waiting to buy a PS3, will be buying it around the same time this game could be released multi-platform.

nettokun

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> I.m quite happy with my 360. I still see no point in getting a ps3 yet.

As long as good games come for the 360, like Eternal Sonata i'm happy. They could make their games for the ps3 or saturn or 3dfx, i couln't care less.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> Its at least a timed exclusive, 360 fans know that since they've been hounding on this title for a while now. The demo really shines and I look forward to this game. Quite your bitching and just buy a 360.

blahism

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> Funny how there isn't a massive fanboy eruption when the game in question isn't MGS4 - or any PS3 title, for that matter.

Could it be that Xbots actually know how to behave? Unlike SDF.

mackzilla

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> My guess is it will come to PS3 sometime next year. It probably isn't launching on the system because of the low Japanese userbase, which will be higher next year. Also, this game won't only sell in Japan. I think it will be popular in the states as well.

sand0789

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> If they're smart, they'll try to distribute it to more than one audience. Some people are obviously willing to spend $600, then $60 on a game, so why not make one that got good feedback from a 360 demo also available for owners of PS3s? The only reason they wouldn't do it is if they're one of those who scientists predict will supposedly die out in the next 200 years. Jk, of course.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @Harpa: The dude is already banned and gone forever. ;D

Yeah it would be nice to get a PS3 port, just on the fact that the team behind the game would be able to make more profit from it, therefore being able to develop more great games. :)

Asides from that, theres nothing wrong with it going over to another system, since in the end everyone wins.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> If the game isn't a big hit in the west, then it will get ported for sure. Game sold poorly in Japan

Anyway, I like timed exclusives more than pure multiplat atleast.

But real exclusives ROCK.

Thinking about it, if exclusives get companies to sell lots more consoles, if more users get both consoles, isn't that really good for them in the long run?

Harpa

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> "According to game site Siliconera, the controller and the graphics made bringing Eternal Sonata to the Xbox 360 a no-brainer."

I'm curious.. what about the controller impressed them so? The colorful buttons? What made that Xbox 360 controller so damn right for RPG's?

I'm betting it was the groundbreaking inclusion of not one, but count them, TWO analog sticks!

Or perhaps it was that suspiciously round D-pad.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @david78: Bullsh*t. The game's sales beat out Ninja Gaiden Sigma's in it's opening week. Not to mention, the title still remains one of the 360's top sellers in Jpn and there are still US and European sales to look forward to. Namco's been fairly satisfied with ES'/TB's success as of late. Do your research before you start venturing off.

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @ARboom: They don't have to make it back in Japan. They did sell around 50,000 copies the first week of release there. That is a very small amount for a retail title, but they don't need it to be big in Japan. Namco might have some other group port it, but Tri-Crescendo doesn't appear to be the sort of developer that would be porting games based on what I found on wikipedia. They are more likely working on a sequel.

"Although the Japanese version of the official Xbox website lists it as "Only on Xbox 360", as of April 23, 2007, the ESRB's site listed it as being rated T on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.As of this writing, there have been no official comments regarding this event, so it is not known if the game is a "timed exclusive" or if this was a mistake on the ESRB's part. On April 25, 2007, however, the game was removed from ESRB's listings completely."

Sento Naninaki

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> Well, remember... Dead or Alive 4 didn't have a Xbox 360 Only sticker on it... It's just the CHANCE that it may come because it is indeed a 3rd party title... It basically means that developers and publishers want to watch how it does, and if it does well, they'll leave it at that, but if it sells 2 copies day one... well, no brainer what will happen =P

ChaosKnight

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @TheIrishNinja: I'm assuming Katamari was originally planned multiplatform but programming difficulties/large-hunk-o-cash made them cut the PS3 version. Right now I'd guess they aren't working on a PS3 version but might resume it depending on sales.

Also it's nice that most of these good 360 games can eventually be played on the PC or PS3. Otherwise I might actually have to buy one.

Reneg

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> This is clearly gonna come to PS3.
It's not gonna sell well in Japan (It's on 360).
It'll find a niche following elsewhere.
They won't get back development costs. It comes to PS3 where it will find a fair following.

The no exclusive tag kinda proves it.

david78

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> @cannonfodder: sorry, you lost me at "for destroying the games industry".

@bnpederson: you might be right, but ive been told it started multi-plat and has been hinted at as a timed thing since; i havent really seen anything concrete either but its not uncommon for me to see talk about it here.

TheIrishNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> Its logical not to speak of the -possible- other version for business purposes.

IF the PS3 crowd knew a PS3 version was under way they'd probably not sell nearly as many copies as they'd want.

Either way Im still set on saying its a timed exclusive; they havent said its xbox 360 exclusive.... hmmm.

That depends on when you want to play it I'm thinking. If you want it before or around Christmas I'd say certainly you need a 360. If you want it later... maybe you won't.

@akuma587: Why'd you throw in the Bioshock comment? It's coming out for the PC at the same time as the 360 so obviously it isn't a 360 exclusive. But coming out on the PS3? Sorry, i'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking on the parts of PS3 owners who don't own a 360.

Much like my fond wish for... Huh. Well, I wouldn't mind Final Fantasy 13 on the 360. I guess...

SolidFro

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> so maybe after their lacklustre backing of the ps3 namco are slapping sony in the face for destroying the games industry.

[www.joystiq.com]

quote: >>> "Japanese game pubs jumping from Sony to Nintendo

The biggest third parties in Japan are throwing their support behind Nintendo in a big way. Namco/Bandai, Sega and Capcom are all increasing both the number of distinct titles and the number of units ordered for games on Nintendo systems, according to research done by the Nikkei newspaper and reported by Variety Asia. Namco Bandai alone is planning a ridiculous 115 games for the DS and Wii in fiscal 2007, a 109 percent increase. Sony, meanwhile, can expect a 30 to 40 percent decline in shipment orders from the big three, according to the report.

In more potential bad news for Sony, the Variety article off-handedly mentions that "Square Enix ... has no plans to develop titles for the PS3 until sales improve enough to make the steep development costs financially worthwhile." This seems to confirm earlier reports that the company wouldn't release any PS3 games until the next fiscal year starts on April 1, 2008. Deep breaths, Final Fantasy fans. Just remember, patience is a virtue."

cannonfodder

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> Well, the shitload of jRPGs coming to the 360 his fall will make the system a no-brianer to pick up before this year ends so I guess I'll be picking this baby up with Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey.

When I asked a different rep at E3 I was told ES was Xbox 360 only too. But like you were saying it may be a timed exclusive. Then on the other hand MS said it was an exclusive in their conference while Beautiful Katamari wasn't. Confusing!

TheIrishNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Bandai Namco "Not Aware" of PS3 Eternal Sonata]]> It may be a timed exclusive, however a game will always be best on it's original system. Some examples include Rainbow Six Las Vegas or Resident Evil 4 on GC versus the PS2 version. It's also not a big deal if it's a timed exclusive due to the fact most people won't get an xbox just for this game. If people want to get an xbox they will want it for Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Infinate Undiscovery and other Mistwalker RPGs. In terms of the Bioshock comment, it would be hard for me to see that game on PS3. Microsoft has made a big deal about this game and it's also coming out for PC. In my view, Bioshock will only be a Microsoft game coming out for PC and Xbox 360.

3. They aren't denying that it will be on PS3 and are using indirect language.
