Well that's what they're doing. The Katamari creator and Namco are bringing this new game to PS3.

Namco HAS to produce a certain amount of games for the PS3... it's part of their contract with Sony, they got payed to do this before the PS3 started having problems (sales wise). Remember the Ken Kutaragi deal?? This game is being made to uphold their end of the deal. So I expect at least another 4 games from Namco for the PS3. The sooner they make the games... the sooner they can walk away from the system.


So I can quote you that after Tekken 6, this and Soul Calibur IV and one other game there will be no more Namco games on the PS3?

You seem to have a lot of inside information on Namco and such tell us more. It seems that the PS3 is definitely doomed as everyone is walking away from it...

Yeesh, this thread has already seen it's fair amount of hyperbole. But anyways, am I the only one that remembers when Namco Bandai made the announcement that the PS3 wasn't selling as well as they'd hoped? In that press release they included the amount of games they were developing for each system.

The company sure does make a hell of a lot of games! but the PS3 was seeing the least at 26. The Wii number was something like 42, and even the Xbox was getting somewhere in the 30's. Of course I'm sure many of those games were just in the planning stages with one or two people working on them.

So regardless of this announcement, the Wii is seeing the most namco bandai support and the PS3 is seeing the least, but all platforms are still being fairly well supported


No, you're not the only one remembering similar numbers.

outlawauron, the reason this thread was derailed is because ckmlb is a hypocrite and stuck a nice piece of flamebait in the first post.

"So much for the claims of Japanese support for PS3 weakening. "

Case in point: Dewey's Adventure and Zack and Wiki are new titles for the Wii with plenty of effort put into them, but ckmlb will say the Wii has no support because it's not getting MGS4 and RE5.  Of course, when the PS3 gets a new IP, rather than an established franchise (which is going to the Wii and 360) that new IP is obviously a sign of increased developer support.
