Pachter on Splinter Cell: “You will see those games on PS3″

By Patrick Garratt

Hey, Ubi! You can keep saying it’s not true, but no one’s listening!

 

Despite an unending stream of claims to the contrary from Ubisoft, the world appears to be unswervable on the logic that Splinter Cell is coming to PS3.

“As far as Splinter Cell [goes], Ubisoft gets it,” said Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter, speaking of platform exclusivity deals in the latest GameTrailers Pach Attack.

“Probably a minimum six months, perhaps a year exclusivity on 360, but you will see those games on PS3 as well.”

It’s not specific whether or not Michael’s talking about Conviction, but Ubi has constantly said the just-released chart-topper is a 360 console exclusive.

“Ubisoft is very good at negotiating rights to bring the game out later on a different platform,” Pachter added.

Earlier this month, Conviction boss Maxime Béland told VG247 of the series’s possible future on PS3: “We’ll have to see what decisions are made by Ubisoft’s management in the future. The decision for Conviction was purely a business move. Microsoft have been wonderful in their support for Conviction.”

Ubisoft said on its Twitter feed on Friday that “Splinter Cell Conviction is exclusive to Xbox 360″.

Next: someone says Splinter Cell Conviction is coming to PS3.

This would be no surprise going multiplat, I mean all previous Splinter cell has been Multiplat and read this statement by ubisoft...

“I joined Splinter Cell after the exclusivity deal with Microsoft had already been signed, but there’s no reason why Splinter Cell couldn’t be on the PS3,” he told Edge.

This is something ppl know already......=.= patcher either predicting the obvious or the impossible.

Seriously, I wish this would stop, even if it does come out, Ubisoft won't benefit, since it'll probably cost more to make another one of their terrible ports, than they'll make back from the game, especially if it's a year late port, such as Bioshock, look what happened to the sales there!

Wasn't Gears of War 3 supposed to be as well Michael?



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.

Man, first no Mass Effect 3, now no Splinter Cell: Conviction. Shut up, Pachter, or the PS3 really will have no games!

Hey, atleast it's still got Talladega Nights, something the 360 will NEVER have! >:D

I don't like Michael Pachter either but what I think he said was "Epic regrets signing the 2 year exclusivity with MS" and then he was asked if he thought Gears 3 would be on PS3 and he said "No, I think MS will do everything it can to keep that franchise exclusive". Something along those lines.
