Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction is coming this Fall exclusively for Xbox 360. However, the fact that the game’s only on that console doesn’t mean that it cannot be done on another. The game’s Lead Designer Steven Masters has told Kiziko in an interview that Ubisoft “could absolutely execute on PS3″ and the reason the game’s exclusive to Xbox 360 is merely “business”.

“Ubisoft as a company now has a lot of experience with PS3. Our processes, tools, techniques are very well-developed – we could absolutely execute on the PS3 if we had the opportunity, but like I said it was a business decision.”

The business decision mentioned is most likely from a confrontation of Microsoft.

    INTERIOR SCENE: UBISOFT OFFICE; MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM

    “Okay guys, GUYS! Let’s settle down. Okay, the reason I called you all in here is because I know you’ve been working hard on the PS3 version of SC: Conviction, just like you worked hard on all the other versions of Splinter Cell that we released on the PS2, PSP and PS3, which undoubtedly is where most of the success of the franchise came from. But, well… you have to stop now.”

    “Why? What’s goin’ on Steve? We’re not stuck or anything. We’ve been doing really well on the PS3 programming side. Hank figured out how to get more depth in the textures thanks to the SPUs in the PS3 and Eric has an idea for an exclusive level, uncompressed audio, separate audio tracks for other countries and a special making of section in HD since we have this space on the Blu-ray that we don’t have on the 360. Why stop now when we’re making such great progress? We’re practically done with the 360 version, although we had a cut a few things to get it onto the DVD format so why are we…”

    “…and that’s why I was saying that this game is tailor made for the 360 and the 360 only.”
