Besides optimization to a platform, why care about exclusivity?

Didn't they dumb down the AI to put it on 360, I mean they were bragging about the AI until they annouced AC a multiplat and then they stopped and the AI was crappy when it came out...

I don't remember that and I think the AI in Assasssins Creed is about on the same level as any other sandbox game like inFamous, GTA4, Red Dead Redemption, and such.  If you could just link me to an article or something, I'd be glad to read it.

It was before the game was annouced as a multiplat so a really really long time ago and the AI is horrible in AC, trying to find a link but hard to find something that old here we go http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/p_assassinscreed_ps3x360

"With incredibly graceful animation, open-ended and extremely beautiful environments, advanced AI and the promise of slick combat, there's every reason to suggest that this could be another enormous success for Ubisoft."

that was a couple months before it was annouced multiplat, once it was no one who was part of the game praised the AI
