SmackDown cancellation causes wrestling riot
If you like wrestling, or watching wrestling, or playing wrestling, perhaps you were looking forward to getting your SmackDown fix on the PS3. You'd better find a different game to look forward to. The official THQ forum for Germany created a thread regarding the removal of the Sony and PS3 logo from the SmackDown website. It became such a hot topic that one of THQ's own, Max Stellar, posted a response: "The backdrop for this is that the PlayStation version was going to be finished substantially later than the other versions" and they would rather concentrate on every other platform first.
The thread mysteriously vanished rather quickly. Recently, however, THQ has made their official announcement. They're releasing the next SmackDown on the 360, PSP and PS2. A fantastic new version is slated for 2007 on the PS3. So fear not, Sony fans, for there is still the PS2 version to enjoy. But this year's next-gen version is reserved solely for the XBox 360. So sorry, but it's better to let THQ get used to the awesome power of the PS3 so we can really feel the smacking and the downing next year, right?
