Ubisoft has clarified why The Crew isn’t coming to PS3 or Wii U, explaining that it decided to target the Xbox 360 for technical reasons.

“It’s actually because The Crew is originally built for the new generation of consoles,” a Ubisoft spokesperson told IGN. “So when the decision was made to port it to the previous generation of consoles, it was decided to focus solely on the platform closest to the new-gen’s technical infrastructure, which is the Xbox 360.”Ubisoft is not currently working on a PS3 or Wii U version of The Crew.Announced earlier today , The Crew on Xbox 360 is said to retain the features, scope, mission variety, and overall driving experience of the Xbox One, PS4, and PC versions.The Xbox 360 version is being developed by Asobo Studio with support from Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections. Asobo Studio, the French developer of several Disney-Pixar licenced games, also developed 2009 open-world racing game Fuel for Codemasters.The Crew lands on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on November 11.
