Tales of Vesperia confirmed, then denied, as PS3 game

The internet excitedly responded to Namco Bandai's recent presentation to the press, which showed Tales of Vesperia as both an Xbox 360 and PS3 game. The long-running RPG series has a strong fan following, but Microsoft secured exclusivity for the game. Since then, Namco Bandai has revised its presentation, removing mention of a PS3 version, apologizing for the confusion.

Saw the preview for this in the latest OXM, I love the cell shaded artwork and looks like you are playing an anime movie.

However, I can think of many other games I'd like to see MS secure exclusive rights for besides ToV.

MS is definately doing an awesome job at giving gamers variety this gen.

1.1 - I know
Japanese support was nonexistant on the original xbox, but now they seem to have just about everyone on board. I wasn't expecting so many jrpgs on my 360.

Yea they are really going after the JRPG's. At this point' Microsoft knows its dead in Japan. JRPG's don't perform so hot in NA. So why are they paying for these exclusives? It is begining to look like their primary goal is simply to slow down sony by holding on to the JRPG's

I love JRPG's i hated blue dragon though and this doesn't seem to be a console shifter to me. I want Kingdom Hearts 3!!! I hope it doesn't come to wii though... I have a wii but it would ruin the game in my opinion =0

1.4 - Boy I couldn't agree with you more.
I would hate it if KH3 came out on the Wii it has the potential to be so much more if it was a PS360 realease or a PS3 exclusive. It just seems like the Wii would hold it back in terms of size scope and of course graphics.

indeed

i still think this wil end up like Eternal Sonata though

at least i hope

as an avid JRPG fan its annoying to see Sony putting little attention on the JRPG's this time round

although to be fair- they didn't start the push with the PS2 this early either

FF13 can't come soon enough

@barom

probably- but without a confirmation, its hard to be happy about the whole ordeal with Tales

3.1 - I dont understand your logic...
how does having a game for ps3 on the list and quickly taking it away and apologizing for the mistake going to help xbox sales?
@bottom indeed..it was just a error...nothing malicious.

a game always gets more attention as an exclusive

a lot fo 360 gamers probably would have barely known about this game if it was announced for the PS3 and 360 simultaneously

Its coming to PS3. There is no way this game is gonna sell well on the 360.

7 - eternal sonata is not even out yet for ps3
and it's almost a year now, need less to say that it won't look good, it's just it's old news now.

and as for tales of vesperia

PLAY, OFFICIAL XBOX magazine, and microsoft's web page has in there official statement that it's 360 exclusive.

but in my opinion, IF their was even a ps3 version in the works, i would suspected it to come out a year later.
