That article reads like a butthurt Xbox fanboy trying to find hypocrisy where there is none.
Nope. Distributed.
People still care about fighting games? I'm sure this would have been relevant in 1996
This is a very weird exclusivity "deal". When they say "PC" they are actually saying "Windows", i.e., a Microsoft platform. So then, why not releasing it for Xbox One too?
Here's my theory: The intention for the new SFV is to unify online, i.e., you can play against anyone, regardless of the platform they are using. And we all know this is something that Xbox Live doesn't allow and Microsoft are really stubborn about it (remember the Steamworks/Portal 2 PS3/PC "exclusivity")
It doesn't affect you in that you can buy the games as soon as they come out but it does affect you in that money is being allocated into buying games instead of creating new ones.
Just realized and confirmed SF exclusivity is nothing new.
Street Fighter was exclusive to the Turbografx CD.
Street Fighter II was exclusive to the Super Nintendo.
Street Fighter II CE was exclusive to the Turbografx.
Street Fighter II Special CE was exclusive to the Sega Genesis.
Street Fighter II Turbo was exclusive to the Super Nintendo.
Super Street Fighter II was the first cross platform, and came out for both the Super Nintendo and Genesis.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo was exclusive to the 3DO.
Street Fighter Alpha was the second to be cross platform, and came out for both the Playstation and Saturn.
Street Fighter Alpha 2 was the third to be cross platform, and came out for both the Playstation and Saturn.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 was the fourth to be cross platform, and came out for both the Playstation and Saturn (Japan) and Dreamcast (US and Japan).
Street Fighter III (all versions) was exclusive to the Sega Dreamcast.
Super Street Fighter II X was exclusive to the Sega Dreamcast.
Street Fighter IV (all versions) was the fifth to be cross platform, and came out for both the 360 and PS3.

Interesting.
Seriously, if you're an active gamer into new games and don't have a PS4 what's wrong with you?

Well, that's exactly what it is!Lol who wrote this trash? The guy must be an xbox fan since he's apparently selectively reading the reactions from people who are ok with this.
OK. Now where's ma Aladdin SNES remake Capcom?
Nope
Seems like a double standard here.
*shrug*
what am I reading lolNice try Sony. You think Microsoft cares? They have Minecraft. Prepared to get stomped at E3.
You've missed alot in the past 10 years bro.
Nope
Pretty sure specifically 2 was published by them. Obviosuly Tecmo with the rest.
What rock did you climb out from under?
No it's not. Tekken is the best selling fighting game series of all time, and Tekken 3 is the best selling pure fighting game of all time. The only thing in terms of numbers SF has on Tekken is name recognition.Street Fighter is way bigger than Tekken.
EVO ends with Street Fighter 4. They chose the right fighting game. They debatably chose the wrong Capcom game though.
If they unify the online this would be the fighting game of the generation.
Really doubt it, though, as it would mean less profit overall. And I'm pretty sure Xbone will get a release eventually.

Either people are being facetious in suggesting that companies like Square and Capcom cannot fund the development of their own, largely popular franchises, or these companies have flushed more money down the toilet chasing mobile than even I was previously aware of. How is Metal Gear Solid V not relying on platform holder money?
This is what Ono said about SFV last year.
Ono would like to make SF5, but expensive; would consider free 2 play Street Fighter

Ono lacks the budget & staff Street Fighter V; Ultra SF4 is PS360/PC "at this moment"

Do we know if SFV's situation is similar to Bayo 2 or not? I mean, did Sony save the game? Cause if it isn't, I'm not comfortable with this. PS4 is my console of choice this gen, but if this is the same situation as what MS did with Rise of Tomb Raider, I'm not happy with it.

No.Lol are those the Tekken x Street Fighter character models that namco made
I don't understand that point. Why do you think it would mean less profit? I think one of the problems of segregated online between platforms is that the online in the platform with less users becomes a wasteland, and eventually people just stop buying that version because of that. Unified online addresses that, so people can buy the version they want without having to worry about how many people would be online on that platform...

Looking at this thread the hypocrisy is real.
Another Japanese Fighter skipping Xbox One......how expected..
Honestly after Guilty Gear Xrd this isn't suprising to me Japanese Developers want to make money too in their own homeland and that's obviously not going to happen with the XB1 so why should they put the time,effort,and to port it over to XB1 just to cater to the Western audiance? Given Capcom's history this may evntually find it's way to XB1 but who knows since Dead Rising 3 still hasn't made it over to PS4.
