"Wedbush Security Analyst Michael Pachter looks into his crystal ball in this week's episode of "Pach-Attack" on GameTrailers.com to look at the future of exclusives on consoles.

Any publicity is good publicity. Right?
The marketers responsible for selling upcoming title Splinter Cell Conviction clearly subscribe to the theory. In a bizarre stunt aimed at getting press attention for the game they had a man dress as protagonist Sam Fisher, replica gun and all, and storm a New Zealand pub.

Recently Steven Masters of Ubisoft revealed that the decision to make Splinter Cell: Conviction Xbox 360 only was purely a "business decision". Steven further explains the PS3 can handle Sam Fisher's latest installment just fine.
"Splinter Cell Conviction is now a XBOX 360 exclusive. The game was shown live and again omg the game looks good. Sam has changed, this time he is on a person mission. His daughter has been killed and now his pissed. The interaction with enemies looks full on."
"Of the three bullet-holes featured on the front page of the new website (see image), two remain signposted as “restricted”, one til 20th May, the other til 28th May. Following the only route left available to us, we found a video beginning to play. Narrated by what most would immediately believe is Sam Fisher himself, the video pans around the globe before zooming-in on a small island, believed to be a fictional addition to the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily."
The Mumbai terrorist attacks claimed dozens of lives yesterday, and one of them was almost the videogame voice actor Michael Rudder, who starred in Far Cry Instincts, Prince Of Persia: The Warrior Within, Jagged Alliance and ironically Splinter Cell. A game which freqrently pits you against various terrorist groups. Luckily he survived despite three bullet wounds to the chest, he should make a full recovery.
"When Ubisoft didn't show Splinter Cell: Conviction at its last event, people worried a little about how the game might be doing. Fear not the game's doing great. So great, they say, that Ubisoft just decided it'd be better off releasing it as part of its "2009-2010" lineup instead of in this year's fiscal fourth quarter. You know, to "bolster" next year, as the company said in its fiscal first quarter results statement."
"Splinter Cell Conviction has been taken "back to the drawing board" by Ubisoft Montreal.
That's according to a report in the latest Xbox World 360 mag. Though Ubisoft isn't saying anything, the mag says it's heard that the surprising development decision has forced Splinter Cell back into the festive period of 2009 - or as late as Spring 2010."
"The latest installment in the Splinter Cell series, Splinter Cell: Convitction, has been pushed back until 2008. This might sound like horrible news at first, especially if you were really looking forward to the game, but it's not all that bad.
If you've seen the gameplay videos, you know how ambitious Conviction is. Being able to use every object on screen is cool, but wasting your time trying to figure out what can and cannot be picked up is definitely not something we want to happen. Th..."
A couple of higher ups in Microsoft, Aaron Greenberg and Larry Hyrb confirmed the rumors. The X0 show X07 was canceled for this year. Xbox fans are disappointed because X07 is the show hosted by Microsoft dedicated to the Xbox 360. Last year, X06 had announcements such as Halo Wars, Banjo Kazooie 3, and Splinter Cell Conviction being a 360 exclusive.
