Splinter Cell Conviction: “No plans” to release on the PS3

There's something different about you, Sam...

In answer to an Q&A question on the Ubisoft forums, a Splinter Cell Conviction developer has noted that the game will not be released on the PlayStation 3. “Splinter Cell conviction is a true Microsoft exclusive title and there are no plans to have Splinter Cell Conviction on other platforms,” he writes. “There are several reasons behind this choice. First of all, Splinter Cell games are historically linked with Microsoft platforms… The second reason behind this choice is purely linked to production. Having a single target platform means that we can optimize the game even further, because we only have one type of – console – hardware to support.”

There you have it, folks. That game that you saw and loved at E3 will be unavailable to you if you do not have an Xbox 360. Therefore, you will be unable to buy the game and give Ubisoft your money.

    Unbelievable. I'm expecting they will regret this decision about3 months after release. From a Playstation only video gamer, an owner of all Splinter Cell games, all the books, and even special editions, they are screwing the pooch here.

    Oh well. Like you said, I guess I'm unable to give them my money.

    There must be a reason though. Were sales poor on the PS systems? Maybe production costs to develop on two systems is too much? Who knows….

    I'm guessing the biggest reason was that Microsoft gave them a lot of money.
