With the release of Splinter Cell: Conviction just around the corner, many gamers are still hoping that the game would eventually find its way over to the PS3. However, according to Ubisoft, Conviction is still an Xbox 360 exclusive title and moving to other console seems to be highly unlikely at the moment. In an interview with Industry Gamers, Max Beland, Creative Director of the the game said:

 

Well, Splinter Cell was originally built on Xbox and we’ve had a great relationship with Microsoft. So Conviction is an exclusive for 360, it’s not going to go to PS3, and that’s interesting because it gives us some advantages. Our lead programmer was talking about it the other day and he said that when you’re focusing only on one platform you can really fine-tune everything for that platform. He gave the analogy of a race car – you could build a car to do Indy, Nascar and F1 but it probably wouldn’t win races in any of those. If you want to win the race you need to focus on one. Now, are we going to see the next versions of Splinter Cell on other platforms? That I can’t answer, but there’s no reason why we wouldn’t go on other platforms. And other versions of Splinter Cell have been on multiple platforms.

 

Splinter Cell: Conviction will be released on April 13 for the Xbox 360, with the PC version scheduled to arrive on April 30.
