Splinter cell: Double agent was released during a time that people were torn between their last gen consoles and current gen consoles.

I first played Splinter cell: Double agent on the origional xbox, therefore my 360 copy was 2ND hand.

Splinter cell: Double agent was released on...............................

Xbox
Gamecube
PS2
Xbox 360
Wii
PS3

Now with SC: Conviction only been on 360/PC i think the game will sell brilliantly (ie potential ex gamecube and ps2 owners buying it for their 360)

Oh, please. The Xbox version of Splinter Cell always sold best. Not many GameCube owners now own a 360. Quite a few PS2 owners do, but really, of 810,000 people on a userbase of 130 million, how many of those people will own one of 30 million Xbox 360s?

Splinter Cell is clearly on a decline, even ignoring Double Agent (not quality wise, but sales wise, certainly). On Xbox only:

Splinter Cell: 2.93 million

Pandora Tomorrow: 1.41 million

Chaos Theory: 1.07 million

To expect the series to jump from 1.07 million, on a downward trend, to 3 million+, is quite ridiculous, I think. All of the versions of Double Agent combined would have hit around 2 million (we only have data for 360, PS3 and Wii, which are 1.41 million in total, of which, to be fair, 1.14 million were from 360).
