Ubisoft spills the beans as to their reason behind making Splinter Cell: Conviction an exclusive to the Xbox 360 console.
Obviously while there are no current plans to bring the game to the PlayStation 3 anything is possible. Other questions were answered by the Ubisoft development team and provided on the Ubisoft forums. Also revealed was the fact that Conviction can be completed using only stealth and that the multiplayer details will be revealed later.
Splinter Cell conviction is a true Microsoft exclusive title and there are no plans to have Splinter Cell Conviction on other platforms. There are several reasons behind this choice. First of all, Splinter Cell games are historically linked with Microsoft platforms. The first Splinter Cell on the original Xbox was one of the first games to fully exploit the console's technical possibilities. At that time, Microsoft really believed in the game potential and provided strong support to promote it. So, there is a "link of heart" between the franchise and the platform. Some games are like this (think of Final Fantasy for instance). The second reason behind this choice is purely linked to production. Having a single target platform means that we can optimize the game even further, because we only have one type of - console - hardware to support.
