Really? Where's all the Lemmings that say Eternal Sonata is not coming to the PS3?ChrisMun

It is sad it is sad its going to sell better on the PS3. It is even worse people would rather buy a PS3 to play ES then a 360.

Ryu ga Gotoku 3 sounds awesome.

Not really fan of Yakuza theme, but when it is set in Edo period that changes everything.

I think most don't care like me. It's going to be a good game but not a system seller and it's not like we're losing the game. Also Ninja Gaiden 2 is amping me up.

Amazing news, Ryu Ga Gotoku is a really great series. Although I'm afraid the second isn't going to get localized.

Also it seems the sheep are going to get Bangaioh again, another amazing Treasure game.

of course they don't care now that is multiplatform.. but all before they were praising namco for all the support they were giving 360..
