October releases pencilled in for Ace Combat 6 and Beautiful Katamari in North America
After a prolonged period of uncertainty concerning possible format exclusivity, Gamespot reports that Namco Bandai will release both Ace Combat 6 and Beautiful Katamari exclusively on Xbox 360 later this month in North America.
Both are titles that, bar for one outing on Game Boy Advance for Ace Combat, were formerly PlayStation exclusives.
Quirky roll-‘em-up Beautiful Katamari will be released in the US on October 16th at a budget price of $39.99, whilst Ace Combat will arrive a week later on October 23rd.
No news on any European release dates have yet emerged, though it had been suggested at one point that Beautiful Katamari could end up being a download only title.

Weird
I'm pretty puzzled that Microsoft chose to negotiate exclusivity over these two titles. The article does not inform us whether exclusivity also affects Japan. Also, Katamari and Ace Combat are system sellers?
Amazing
I think that is awesome news about the new Katamari :D Shame that Keita hasn't got anything to do with it though.
Re: Amazing
Exclusivity doesnt have to necessarily apply to system sellers.
Were these system sellers when they were PlayStation exclusives ?
It is just a further way to broaden the appeal of the 360. Obviously Katamari is different to your average FPS on the 360.
Also, I maybe wrong, but I would think these are only exclusive in that MS will have the exclusivity for a couple of months before it is released on other platforms.
What is significant is that Namco is a Japanese publisher.
