Assassin's Creed gets exclusive... or does it?

We've just about heard everyone's opinion regarding the exclusivity of Assassin's Creed and the PS3. Sony fans want this thing to be theirs alone, but popular guesses indicate something different.

Officially, the title "is coming to the PS3. No other announcements have been made." But Luke Smith from 1UP treats it like the elephant in the room: "Assassin's Creed is coming to the Xbox 360. It's one of those secrets no one is supposed to know about ... yet everyone does."

He proposes the possibility of Sony just paying for it to be announced for the new console, allowing them to deliberate later on its exclusivity. That would mean they still have the option to keep it for themselves. Will Sony cough up the cash to keep it out of the Microsoft camp? We'll have to wait and see, because it looks like they may lose a key "exclusive" title if they don't. However, they haven't exactly been willing to pay for the betterment of things lately.

This is a no brainer. Of course it's going to be on the 360.

with the way UBI is gouging people for GRAW i almost hope that PS3 doesnt have the same software delivery abilities that 360 has. If they are that good, we can buy cool extras, or pay an extra 15 bucks to get the rest of the game.

heh, this is shot down in its own sourced article, plus if you check the ubisoft and a.c.'s sites they make no mention of the 360 within anything a.c.. This rumor is sprouted by (the already shot down) rumor of it playing on 360 hardware at e3, really old release dates (ones made pre06), when a.c was still slated for xb360 originally. so unless sony screws it up in liscening and ubi pulls a timed or multi-plat out last minute, then its for ps3 only.
