Speaking to videogaming247, a Namco Bandai Games America representative said his company currently had no intention to release the PlayStation 3 version of Eternal Sonata (Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume in Japan) in North America. While this statement certainly is no definite confirmation yet, it is possible that the PlayStation 3 version of Eternal Sonata will suffer a fate similar as the PlayStation 2 release of Tales of Symphonia. The PlayStation 2 port of the highly popular GameCube title has never made it out of Japan.

Eternal Sonata for PlayStation 3 will hit Japanese retail store shelves sometime later this year.
