When EA Sports president Peter Moorefirst told the worldofEA Sports Grand Slam Tennismore than a year ago, he noted that the Wii version would support Wii MotionPlus, and that it would launch before the PS3 and 360 iterations.Grand Slam Tenniscame out on the Wii in June, but we’ve seen neither hide nor hair of the HD game. It was originally set to launch this fall, but it was recently delayed because development resources were shifted to ensure that theEA Sports Activeexpansion pack,EA Sports Active: More Workouts, is out by this holiday season.
It now appears that PS3 and 360 owners will have to wait quite a while — perhaps even another year — to play a new tennis game. Moore toldVG247at Gamescom thatGrand Slam Tenniswon’t be released on PS3 and 360 until after the consoles’ respective motion controllers are out. Sony will be launching the PS3’s motion-sensing wandnext spring, while Microsoft’s Project Natal isn’t expected to be out until thefall of 2010.
I guessTop Spin 3is all you’ve got for now, PS3 and 360 owners.
