There is a story that was put up on ign then immediately removed. E3 2006: Xbox 360 Assassinated Ubisoft Montreal's Prince of Persia influenced action game may come to Xbox 360. by Douglass C. Perry May 12, 2006 - Ubisoft officially would not comment on a possible Xbox 360 version. Additionally, Microsoft sources who asked not to be mentioned by name, claimed the demo, hidden behind closed doors at E3, was running on an Xbox 360 using a third-party USB PlayStation controller. The game system was hidden in a stand covered by a sheet. Again, Ubisoft officials would not comment. We'll have more soon. Yes you heard correct they were running a demo for a ps3 exclusive that they've yet to announce for the 360 ON an 360 covered up under a sheet. Advertising for the ps3 using the 360 gpu's graphics capabilities how underhanded can ubisoft get?
Comment from someone at E3
Multiple people saw the 360 when seeing the demo, and it was a joke going around E3.
Ubisoft probably called IGN's marketing department and complained, who then ran up to the IGN warroom at E3 in a panic "Ubisoft will pull all ads if we don't remove that story about their deception on the floor!" And thus it was pulled. It's how things work.

"The pad is what gave it away to...everyone.
Every single playable PlayStation 3 game at E3 was using an actual PS3 controller connected with the USB connector (bolted to the controller) and going to an actual (visible) PS3 dev kit.
Assassins was the ONLY "PS3" game to use a generic third party PlayStation 2 controller going to a sheet.
They had a closed-in white Assassins demo room right at one of the entrances to the Ubisoft booth."
