With the imminent release of Splinter Cell on PS2 and PC I would like to know your opinion on this.
The Xbox sold a lot of consoles on the back of their EXCLUSIVE deal on Splinter Cell with Ubi Soft as did PS2 with Vice City (Which is ultimately exlusive to PS2). Is it right that Splinter Cell can now be ported onto the PS2 and PC with added extras.
Now I would have imagined that if Microsoft and Ubi Soft had signed a contract for an exclusive game then it shouldn't be released on different formats thus being exlusive. Is this Ubi Soft stabbing the Xbox in the back or Microsoft sucking in gamers knowing full well that it was only an early release exlusive.
Exclusive deals make consoles what they are. You want an Xbox because it does Splnter Cell, Morrowind, Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2, Shenmue, etc. You want a PS2 because it has Pro Evo Soccer, Vice City, Devil May Cry 2, etc. You want a Game Cube because it has, Zelda, Metroid Prime, Mario, etc.
Ubis Softs EXCLUSIVE to all formats deal has made a joke of 3rd party exclusive deals.
Personally I think it makes a joke of the whole EXCLUSIVE tag that games are labelled with. I would be as well sticking with my DC and PS2 if all Xbox exclusives will eventually find their way on to the PS2.
What do you think?

I do not think that they said Splinter Cell would be exclusive to Xbox forever. Even the box the game came in does not have the “only on Xbox” mark.
