The guys over at IGN have a nice rumor for you Beautiful Katamari fans out there who just so happen to own a Nintendo Wii. According to sources close to Namco Bandai, the game is giving developers a fit as they try to port it over to the PlayStation 3. This, combined with total sales of the console being less than expected, has caused them to quietly cancel the title on the PS3. Don't stop there; however, as the rumor goes on to say that the Wii is now the focal point of the resources previously associated with the PS3 version. Since porting the game from the Xbox 360 is rumored to be a no-go as well, the game is purported to be in development for the Wii from the ground up.

Does this rumor have any legs? Keeping in mind that this isn't the first time we've heard the Wii and Beautiful Katamari in the same sentence, I'm still a bit confused about one half of the reasoning behind the possible PS3 cancellation. While Sony's success with the PS3 has been somewhat stalled, the part about having trouble porting the game to it is pretty much the same case for the Xbox 360 to Wii transition. So what gives? Then again, with development costs said to be much less on the Wii, combined with the impressive numbers it's showing every month -- this rumor could easily become fact. We've now reached the point that even in the realm of maybes, Sony can't catch a break.
