Ok, then you Xbox people need to erase the fact that Double Agent was released on the PS3 from every source.

In the topic - money talks, probably. I think it'll get ported finally with new shit, like BioShock or Alone in the Dark was.

*sigh* man I love splinter cell games... Maybe it really is time to cave in and buy a 360. Which in all fairness I should've done a long time ago

Ubisoft has for some reason always put the Splinter Cell franchise on the Xbox first, maybe because of it's first steps on the Xbox or maybe for other reasons but it's always been there first and in some cases the ports to other consoles were handled not as well as I would have liked if I didn't own the xbox consoles. Seeing my friends play the games on their gamecubes made me sick, mostly because he managed to think it was ok despite the game not being able to handle shadows like it was meant to.

It is not exclusive.  It is on PC.  Xbox 360 RARELY gets exclusives.  I call it M$ exclusives.  Ubisoft will develop a PS3 exclusive anyway, unless M$ buys it too.  Just like Assassins Creed....

I REALLY hope it gets ported onto PS3, because I love all Tom Clancy games :( 
Or maybe like Reaper said, and they will make the next Rainbow Six game PS3 exclusive :D

" Money talks.  Microsoft has money, and they threw enough at Ubisoft to convince Ubisoft to only develop for Microsoft platforms. "

" Why is MAG not coming to Xbox 360? I help u convince microsoft to put 360 games to PS3 if u convince Sony to put PS3 games to 360. "

Here are some numbers for that fact:  Sony Corp (SNEJF) has a market capital around $30 Billion US as of the market close on New Years Eve.  Microsoft (MSFT) has market capital close to $271 Billion US. "

Microsoft probably has some "limited-time exclusive" deal with Ubisoft probably. I expect it to show up on the PS3 in a year or so. That's just money their turning their back to.

Not true.
 
Microsoft heavily supported the series back when it first started and Ubisoft feel the series "belongs" on the Xbox and that they should be loyal in return and only release the game on 360 / PC.  There was no money involved, and while the higher ups may eventually decide to port the game over for more profit, it seems less likely to happen than other franchises going multiplatform.  It's exclusive because the developers want it to be, not because they're being payed for any kind of timed deal.

Wow, do you believe everything people tell you? Business isn't about ethics and loyalty, it's about making a profit. If the developers really made this decision for this reason, it's extremely unorthodox.  "
