Splinter Cell will be released only for the Xbox. Think maybe this was in responce to GTA only for Sony, who knows. Here’s the skinny:

“Xbox is the ideal platform to premiere Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell,” said Yves Guillemot, President and CEO, Ubi Soft Entertainment. “We’re using the Xbox hardware to truly realize the vision we had for the game, and to implement some fantastic special effects. For instance, the character can be moved in front of a working movie projector and the movie realistically projects on the characters back with the appropriate lighting effects, just like real life. Little touches like that are making this game really come alive, and were possible thanks to the powerful capabilities of Xbox. . . read on . . .

We’re also looking to take advantage of Xbox Live to extend the experience.”
Based on the popular book by Tom Clancy, Splinter Cell has players put in the role of Sam Fisher, a field operative of “Third Echelon”, a secret NSA sub-agency. Playing in the third-person perspective, the game has players infiltrating high-security strongholds, battling cyber-terrorism, neutralizing enemies and destroying critical data.
Splinter Cell will feature online gaming via Xbox Live service when released later this year.
