Sorry America. You're Totally Not Going To Get An Eye Pet This Christmas.

The game has been pushed back to 2010 in the States. SCEA explained that their marketing team "will spend additional time to continue educating consumers and retail channels, setting the table for a successful product launch". Basically, there's not enough interest at this point.

Of course, with a certain Sphere shaped product due in early 2010 too, Sony might pursue a completely different marketing route for Eye Pet in America.

Eye Pet will still launch this October 23rd in Europe.
