Following the release of a Destroy All Humans: Path of The Furon trailer that failed to mention a PS3 version alongside the Xbox 360 title, as well as US online retailers pulling the PS3 game from their listings, THQ has now confirmed that the first next-gen Destroy All Humans game won't be coming to Sony's console.

Citing "development issues" as the reason for this cancellation, THQ confirmed to Shacknews that Path of The Furon is now effectively an Xbox 360 exclusive.

This is not the first time that Sony's PS3 has handed an exclusive to the Xbox 360. Earlier this year, EA announced that the PS3 version of Red Alert 3 had been "put on hold", leaving only Xbox 360 and PC titles scheduled for release.

It's also not the first time that a Destroy All Humans game has failed to surface on a Sony console, with Big Willy Unleashed being cancelled on the PS2 earlier this year and subsequently seeing release on Nintendo's Wii.

Path of The Furon will be released in the US next week, while European gamers will have to wait until next year for the game to appear on shop shelves.
