If you’re one of those folks still praying for that time when Splinter Cell: Conviction heads to the PS3 even if it’s a “true Microsoft exclusive“, then fret not and heed the words of Ubisoft Montreal CEO, Yannis Mallat. According to him, “There is always hope.”

It’s cryptic at best, but he does leave a tiny bit of room for hope that that day just might come. In an interview with Videogamer, Mallat said on whether or not Splinter Cell: Conviction might come to the PS3 that, “I can’t predict the future.

Tom Clancy‘s Splinter Cell: Conviction is coming out exclusively on Xbox 360 and PC on February 26, 2010.
