(UPDATED) Splinter Cell: Conviction coming to PS3?

It was believed that Splinter Cell: Conviction would only appear on the 360 console as well as the PC; however, a major United Kingdom retailer, GAME has alleged that the game is set for a simultaneous release on the PlayStation 3 as well.
The title was presumed to be released in early 2008. GAME has said the title will hit their shelves on April 1st, 2008 and will include the PS3 with it. Sometimes retailers get info before the world and they let it slip. Something similar happened recently with Metal Gear Solid 4 and the supposed demo coming in February.
Ubisoft has stated that a PS3 version nor a release date has been set. We’ll try to stay on top of this to find out if it is true or not.
UPDATED:
Ubisoft has issued a statement to videogamer.com confirming that the game is NOT heading to PlayStation 3:
"This is just a mistake by the retailer. The game is not coming out on PS3 nor is it coming out on April 1. We're sticking to the original announcement"

I kinda stopped caring for splinter cell games a while ago; it's not the same anymore... not bad, just not the same for me.

dave wales.....pretty good editor so far....not so bad reviews, burt hop off the rumor bandwagon.....don't be like your other colleagues (looking at you Mr. sarad jackson).....all these pointless rumors with no credible source is simply annoying and very distasteful

Well Ubisoft does like the PS3 so... I belive it. Also Microsoft relies on 3rd party support. Their 1st party deveolpment team is really weak. So with all these 3rd party games going multiplatform. Sony's PS3 will be the only system (excluding wii) with exclusives. Due to Sony's high end 1st party development studios. Not a good sign for Msoft, but good news for PS3.

Lol. Then all we'll need is Halo Wars and Too Human. First Ninja Gaiden then Splinter Cell. neither are confirmed, but if they both turn out to be multiplatform, that would be kinda funny. I might get Ninja Gaiden if it comes, but I probably won't get Splinter Cell anyway. Very cool and interesting nonetheless.

dude, don't say that. Sam Fisher is great in his own right. I love both Sam and Snake and I wouldn't have it any other way.

@conflict_01 i agree, game are the worst people to ask when it comes to the ps3, i went into game looking for the PS eye, i said when you getting it in, he said we don't know cause sony there still testing them? i looked at him as if to think 'testing what?!' and then he said its the same with the B.tooth headsets they took a while to come out for the ps3 because sony were testing them????!!!! this guy didn't have a clue,
Anyway about the game, it comes out April 1st? hmmmmm April fools anyone?

psn id: gingo... i never go by what retailers say because they always make mistakes with dates and what platfoprms games are on, was it not just a few months ago that Wal Mart or sum other big american retailer said MGS4 was coming to 360 aswell???? they always get it rong

yep probably a crappy whatevs last minute port... just like RS Vegas! except they are releasing it simultaneously this time, well done chaps! oh my god RSVegas looked bad on the 360... then they thought they'd PS3 it and totally screwed it. great game, looks terrible.

April 1st?
Am I the only one who finds this funny? Ubisoft canned the PS3 version of SC: Conviction...it might get a port eventually but by then the true gamers will have already played the game to death on the 360 with only the odd break for an obsessive game of Haze...

Ubisoft said that the game CAN'T be done on the PS3 and that the PS3 was not capable of handling the physics and the AI of the game. Ubisoft wants nothing to do with the PS3, so this is not a surprise. Stupid rumor.

We got Solid Snake, what more do we need? Besides, Snake could kick Sam Fishers (butt) anyday. Even while eating tree frogs.

Never cared for Splinter cell it was a poor man's metal gear solid. Its too militarized, and focused on killing too much. Not really stealth action with a great plot to it. Each plot always was different about a tyrant or dictator or leader bent on using nuclear weapons to wage war its always that in Splinter Cell.

No way sam fisher doesn't do playstation he's better than snake, as with sam everyone likes him while snake is like marmite you love him or hate him, sam is xbox 360 exclusive so rack off.

Well ****. Two games mixed up and fixed (sadly) within a few days. I wish Microsoft would quit buying games like this.
