THQ recently revealed it is moving its hack-and-slash title Conan The Barbarian from October to an end of September release. The game developed by Nihilistic is slated to hit stores in America and Europe on September 29. This, however, only accounts for the Xbox 360 version, as THQ today revealed in its newest release schedule that the Playstation 3 version will hit stores on October 12, in both the US and Europe.
A specific reason for the short delayment was not given. This however is not the first time the Playstation 3 version of a multiplatform game hits later than the other versions. THQ's Juiced 2 will hit stores in October on PS3 and PSP, where the Xbox 360, PS2 and NDS versions will hit stores next week.

Why?
what could 2 weeks possibly do? And why does it seem like every game is doing this? Real explaination needed. It almost seems like every developer is under contract to give the XBOX 360 a timed exclusive.
I don't see why you can't get the game out on both consoles at the same time, when you're talking mere weeks.
Do I care about Conan? No, but this seems like a trend and someone needs to explain why. Because I just don't see any possible reason for it.
Next time it could be a game that actually means something like Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed, Rock band, or Guitar Hero.
Maybe people just think it's the stylish thing to do, since everyone else is doing it. That's about all I can think of, because there's no other explaination.
i agree with you
What's there not to "get"? It's been stated numerous times that the 360 is easier to develop for. They might need an extra week to work out some glitches. Also, way to crap on a game you haven't even played yet.
If you delay a game two weeks for my console, you pissed me off. This isn't exactly a highly anticipated AAA classic. I might of considered renting Conan to see if it's any good but not anymore.
This shows no respect. They can't wait 2 weeks and be fair to everyone? The PS3 does have like a 4 million userbase.
I don't understand what 2 weeks will give you. If it was delayed a month, maybe. 2-3 weeks of extra dev time + 1 week of shipping preperation. 2 weeks will do what?
