A few weeks ago I was saying the same thing about Street Fighter.RE is not going to be exclusive to Ms or Sony...anyone thinking otherwise is silly.

I think only Microsoft can afford to buy exclusivity on RE. I don't see Sony having that kind of money.
A few weeks ago I was saying Street Fighter is not Dead Rising.RE is not Street Fighter.
This is exactly what people said when rumors of the SFV exclusivity deal surfaced. Look what happened.I think only Microsoft can afford to buy exclusivity on RE. I don't see Sony having that kind of money.
How well did RE5/6 sell on last gen consoles each?

RE 5 - 6.7 millionHow well did RE5/6 sell on last gen consoles each?
RE 5 - 6.7k
RE 6 - 6k
PC sales are not included but PSN/XBL download sales are, I think.

Hopefully. And hopefully Microsoft retaliates by moneyhatting their own console exclusives.Maybe if the practice becomes widespread enough, gamers will stop making excuses for either company and choose to speak up against it.
Yeah, Sony is broken, right?
It can't be a MS exclusive, RE sells way too big in Japan.
Much more likely to be PS4 than Xbox One. Capcom can't give away all the sales in Japan.

Not even close to the same, RE is a lot bigger then SF.

I can remember you arguing with people 'speaking up' against Tomb Raider 2 being Xbox exclusive.

I would bet it will!
In sales yes, as a brand not even close.
Huh? Please explain, sales show Re brand is bigger.....
Why not if the check is big enough? MS can say to Capcom, whatever you think you can sell on the PS4 we'll pay you 1.5x that to make up for the loss.
Can you attempt to look at the thread? RE is Capcom best selling IP.
They wouldn't be giving it up because MS is going to pay for whatever they're going to make on the PS4. That's how moneyhatting for 3rd party exclusives works.
So you remember me saying exclusivity is a good thing?
Huh? Please explain, sales show Re brand is bigger.....
Just because so many iterations and it has been on the market longer...RE is bigger.
I understand that. Point being if you go MS then you essentially give up all sales for an entire region (Japan), not to mention worldwide the PS4 has about a 2:1 sales advantage. Therefore, MS would have to give you a much bigger moneyhat than Sony.
Thinking about the Street Fighter deal and how that may kickstart a new collaboration between Sony and Capcom. Or is Resident Evil too big of a brand to be on a single platform? Judging by Capcom's focus on sales numbers and how Resident Evil 6 didn't sell as well as they wanted it to, is it feasible that they would go with either a timed or full exclusivity deal?
