Splinter Cell chaos Theory delayed

We're afraid there's more news of delays today. This time we have the sad news that the much-anticipated Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory has been bit by the de-l8 bug. Gamespot has the exclusive scoop, where they say the title will be out in March of 2005, instead of November. Conspiracy theorists (i.e. realists) will speculate that the delay was to stay out of a highly competitive holiday market, where games like Halo 2 and Half-Life 2 threaten to drown out other titles. The article also mentions that the publisher approved the delay to allow "players on Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and PC to discover [the game] at the same time." So the Xbox-exclusive angle is out the window.
