THQ has informed Eurogamer that the PlayStation 3 version of earthling annihilation sim Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, isn't quite as canceled we were lead to believe. It's still on track for a European release, joining its Xbox 360 sibling on shelves next year, February 13th. Is that enough time to sort out those "development issues?"
A spokesperson for the publisher explained: "Due to the game being shipped earlier in North America on 2nd December a decision was made to proceed exclusively with the Xbox 360 format in that market." If you were to ask us, we'd say the European strategy for releasing outside the holiday period and on twice as many platforms seems like the smarter one. If you were to ask us.

So it looks like PS3 version it simply not ready for simultaneous relase with (easier to program) X360 version in 2008 but will be ready in February 2009.
Why not relase it in America when it will be?

Cool. North American PS3 owners can just import this if they really want it, PS3 is region free.

This is what infuriates me. Why delay the 360 version of any games to cater to the PS3's longer development time? Just release each version as it gets completed. I'm sure there will be times when PS3 games would come out sooner this way too. For example, Burnout Paradise had the PS3 as the lead development platform.

If you do that then the hype may be lost by the time PS3 comes out and no one cares about it anumore.
