i'm hoping that its just a timed exclusive deal and I will eventually get to play this on PS3. It makes no sense for Ubisoft not to bring it over. Anyone know if they had stated what kind of exclusive it is?

I think it'll be timed, heard a magazine cover had SC:C on PS3 on it.
 
FYI I sold my PS3 so no bias for me.

Maybe in the future, If this stayed exclusive wouldn't it be the only Splinter Cell to do so? i remember i played a lot of the on Sony consoles. And after all Ubisoft is a third party publisher and as far as i know MS don't own any of the IP.   

It'll come out like a year later with DLC packed in and other stuff to make up for the fact that it wasn't released simultaneously on both consoles.  That usually seems to be thing that happens right?

Yep the whole exclusive thing drives us gamers crazy, its the most evil thing the video game industry has come up with.

I would say a pretty good chance of it coming out eventually for the PS3. 

Hope say.

Wow; did I really just type "Hope say?" Man, I'm a moron; Hope so.

Well, lets look at the facts:
 
1.) It's a third-party game
 
By that alone we can assume it'll see a PS3 release sometime this generation. The quality of said port remains unknown, as Double Agent was terrible on PS3.

My magic ball points to ... not likely.

I think that it's going to remain an exclusive to Microsoft systems. I'm not entirely sure why, however.

Possibly, but I don't see why you'd wait unless you didn't own an Xbox 360 or decent PC.

the cover art doesn't have "only on xbox and pc" on it.
 
I'd say it's pretty certain, just a matter of time.
