Recently is was revealed that NeverSoft’s Tony Hawk’s Project 8 on PlayStation 3 is to ship without the online modes that are featured in the Xbox 360 version of the game – news which raised a few concerns over the current state of the PlayStation 3’s online service.

Speaking to SEGA Europe today, online play in the PlayStation 3 version of Virtua Tennis 3 seems to be on shaky ground. According to a SEGA Europe rep “Virtua Tennis 3 PS3 does not have an online mode confirmed at this time.“

The game isn’t scheduled to ship until spring 2007, several months after the PlayStation 3’s launch, but seeing as online play on the Xbox 360 version is a given, the news isn’t good.

Concrete details concerning the PlayStation 3 version of Virtua Tennis are likely to be announced closer the game’s release in spring 2007.
