Rainbow Six Vegas next-gen only

Current-gen out of luck.

Ubisoft's next Rainbow Six title, Vegas, isn't going to appear on current-generation console formats after all, according to the publisher.

In its E3 line-up press release this week, Ubisoft listed Vegas for PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles only - and apparently that's now the party line, with a spokesperson telling GameSpot, "All development has been shifted to next-gen platforms".

Whether that means the proposed PC version is off the table too remains to be seen, but, on the plus side, opting for next-gen consoles as target platforms ought to mean a higher base level of visual quality.
