Forums - Gaming - There is no reason for Splinter Cell Conviction to stay exclusive

I think Ubisoft will be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't port this over to PS3.

The game is great, a lot better than I thought it would be. And while its cool that 360 owners got firs dibs on this title...there really isn't anything about it that limits it to the 360 as a console or its userbase.

Its not a system seller that MS would want to secure, its not a visual powerhouse which can't be ported to a console easily, its not a game which requires a function of XBL or will only appeal to the 360 crowd...etc

The only reason why older splinter cell games sold better on Xbox is because the PS2 versions sucked since the system couldn't handle them very well. Those times are gone...

In any case, I hope Ubisoft ports this game to PS3 soon and that everyone can experience this kick ass game. I finally got my copy today and don't have to go over to my buddies place to play it like I did for the last 2 days... :)

I'm pretty sure there is a contract in place, that would need to be circumvented before anything happens at the least.



Something tells me MS already compensated for all the lost profit to Ubisoft.



           

I bet the PS3 probably couldn't handle it.

Possible but it makes no sense to do this on MS's part. Game isn't like GTA4 other type of game which will sell consoles. Possibly a temporary exclusive like GTA4 DLC...

Those temp exclusives work pretty well it seems. GTA4 DLC is coming out for PS3 and PC this month and no one seems to care...

Hasn't every other Splinter Cell game been ported to Sony platforms? I imagine this one will be no different.

Well, I think their original intent was to have a stacked holiday 2009 lineup, though Microsoft does seem to think it has some console selling power, otherwise they wouldn't have bundled it.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

I wouldnt mind getting this if it came out on PS3. The co-op seems intriguing. Though i heard its a short game, is it really? If its +8hrs thats plenty enough for me to consider a good length of a game.



The current Ubisoft strategy is slowly killing the franchise...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I can see this being another timed exclusive since ubisoft usually isnt one for exclusives
