On June 29, 2007, IGN Nintendo editor-in-chief Matt Casamassina reported that according to unnamed sources close to Namco Bandai, the PlayStation 3 edition of "Beautiful Katamari" had been cancelled due to porting issues and stalled PlayStation 3 sales, with resources being redirected towards the development of a Wii version. Namco Bandai was contacted for comment, but a statement was not returned in time for the publishing of the report. On July 5, 2007 Namco revealed their E3 2007 lineup, listing "Beautiful Katamari" as Xbox 360 only. On the same day, Famitsu reported that "Beautiful Katamari" had been cancelled for the PS3 and was currently in development for the Wii and Xbox 360.
