Two months ago, THQ announced they are developing a game based on The Sopranos, HBO’s popular TV-series. They have now confirmed the cancellation of the Xbox360 version. During a recent conference call with analysts, THQ CFO Edward K. Zinser talked about recent quarter earnings, and how that affects future development of new games.
“Amortization of 18 percent was up three points versus the prior year quarter. This is primarily due to our decision to discontinue development of the Sopranos for Xbox 360. There is no change to our plans to replace it, but we will release it on PS2 during the holiday season.”
The game now looks to be a PS2 exclusive, although some suggest that it’s only a delay. It seems that THQ needs time to polish the Xbox360 version, which is almost a complete port from the PS2 version. That certainly wouldn’t look too good on the 360.
