Over at the forums of online site XBLArcade, Microsoft's Worldwide Xbox Live Arcade Games Portfolio Manager Ross Erickson and posted this rather short and uncharacteristic message: "Total crap. Not happening."

Regardless of the validity of the rumor, we believe that such a big official wouldn't randomly sound rude on public forums, lest he wants to taint the name of his company he works for. On the other hand, the administrator of the said forums claimed that he checked on the authenticity of the post and found out that it indeed came from the Microsoft official.

If that's the case, then, no Katamari for us for now. We hope that The King of all Cosmos will soon grant our deepest prayers.

Tis no fair I only played Katamari once, and I quite liked it, although got a bit difficult very quickly, but I would have got it if it came to XBLA, oh well. I'll just have to wait for it to come out on the next gen consoles
