“Splinter Cell Conviction” and “Red Steel 2″ will have been moved to 2010, as in the 4th fiscal quarter..

Today, Ubisoft announced that Splinter Cell: Conviction and Red Steel 2, two games that were expected to be released this holiday, have been pushed back to Ubisoft’s fiscal fourth quarter — which starts January 1st, 2010.

“Splinter Cell Conviction and Red Steel 2, whose releases were previously planned for the third fiscal quarter, will now be released in the fourth fiscal quarter,” a press release, detailing Ubisoft’s fiscal first quarter results reads.

I know it seems like pulling a Capcom and releasing top IPs in the first half of the year is a good idea, but if everyone starts doing so, it becomes futile. In Ubisoft’s case, it does make some sense, as “Spliter Cell Conviction” would be competing for the same market as “Assassins Creed 2″.
