Defined Irony - Assassins Creed PS3 Demo Running on Xbox?

From Xbox-Scene:

>> We don't really have much to back up this story except that it was posted on IGN for a short amount of time:

Ubisoft Montreal revealed its next incredible project, Assassins: Creed, exclusively for PlayStation 3 at E3 this year, much to the delight of Sony console fans and to the dismay of Microsoft consoles fans. Ubisoft officially would not comment on a possible Xbox 360 version.

According to sources close to the company, however, there are potential plans for an Xbox 360 version at Assassins: Creed sometime in 2007. Additionally, Microsoft sources who asked not to be mentioned by name, claimed the demo, hidden behind closed doors at E3, was running on an Xbox 360 using a third-party USB PlayStation controller. The game system was hidden in a stand covered by a sheet. Again, Ubisoft officials would not comment.

Was the article removed because it was false or because IGN got a call from Sony or Ubisoft? Guess we'll never know. Still a funny story to start the weekend

I can't stop laughing long enough to comment. If it's true it's hilarious.

If it does come to 360 then that would be one less reason that I would want a PS3.

I will honestly say it wouldn't surprise me

not because the 360 is powerful but both the 360 and the PS3 is pretty close in power

I find it odd that the story that Douglas C. Perry wrote is still there, and the text has just been deleted. Why wouldn't they just kill the article from the database? Lord knows I have hit many a link on IGN that goes to a 404 page.

It seems stranger to leave it there.
