Straight from IGN, and EGM apparently Assassin’s Creed for the 360 has been officially confirmed, and not only is it coming to the 360 it’s coming out to coincide with the PS3 launch in Q1 2007, so no exclusivity at all here? Wow i wonder what all the hush hush was for… Guess this kinda solidifies a quick and painless death for the ps3, i mean what real games are left to justify the 200$ extra price tag… MGS and FF? I mean really is that really worth the extra cash on top of a 360 not to mention the sure to be short supply of ps3’s i think the 360 just got a big boost.
