According to Japanese- and English-language press releases on the Konami Web site, the game will now be coming to Japan in the first quarter of 2008, and to other regions in the second quarter. The game had initially been due for a simultaneous worldwide pre-Christmas release exclusively for Sony's PlayStation 3 console. However, at the E3 Media & Business Summit in July, Konami admitted that the game would not arrive in 2007 as originally planned.

A statement from Konami gives the reasoning behind this decision: "Konami has decided to delay the title's release in order to make further improvements to the quality of the game and provide even greater enjoyment for more customers worldwide." It added that it would continue to work on the game to make sure it will "meet everyone's expectations."

I guess if it will be much better, this is acceptable... but the PS3 is really suffering and honestly needs a good game to keep it afloat, right now I feel that the system is worthless. I know there will be some good games coming out but I think that it has really taken way too long.
