Splinter Cell Conviction going multi-platform?

http://www.msxbox-world.com/xbox360/news/article/10551/Splinter-Cell-Conviction-going-multi-platform?.html

This is purely speculative but after Ubisoft's financial report they released yesterday and comments from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, could the delay of Splinter Cell: Conviction suggest that the publishing giant are reconsidering their stance with the now Xbox 360 exclusive game?

 

CEO Yves Guillemot has mentioned the development team in Montreal requested more time to polish the game, but with the hard downturn and lower than expected projections for the coming quarters of the financial year, is there more to the delay than meets the eye, especially considering the ever increasing development costs for the hugely delayed game.

Ubisoft's first quarter sales were down 50.3% which is not to be scoffed at, citing the current market climate as one cause or in their own words 'Poorer-than-anticipated market conditions'. With a number of Japanese publishers such as Square Enix, Capcom and Namco branching out to cross platforms with their products and with leading publishers such as Activision and EA enjoying huge success with their cross platform titles, could platform exclusivity be under scrutiny behind closed doors at Ubisoft?

With Ubisoft experiencing a general slowdown in sales across key platforms, it does make sense that their biggest franchises reach as large an audience as possible. Assassin's Creed 2 is multi-platform, as have been their other key game series such as Rainbow Six Vegas and Ghost Recon, so with Splinter Cell Conviction being exclusive to Xbox 360 as perhaps a timed exclusive it looks like there's more hope for PS3 owning gamers who have enjoyed the previous games on the Playstation consoles.

  its splinter cell... how do you imagine it being co-op?



Co-op doesn't work in a solo stealth game. That would be retarded.

it worked on Tenchu Z

but what im saying it doesn't work on Splinter Cell. since its relies on one man character.
