For this guys would be better have and arcade version or use a super computer with 1ms of Lag... the kind of justification is fantastic also don't you think....

while the lag between PS3 to Xbox is 25% greater from Xbox to a super computer is 6600%... really that must be really important

Arcade cabs of SFIV in Japan are modified PCs, but the US national competition EVO went console because arcades are dead here.  Believe it or not, input lag matters at every step because it adds up from console to TV.  They use PS3s at EVO because it was easier to find lagless PS2->PS3 adapters a long time ago, but 360 more closely matches the arcade version.

And if they want less Lag they shall assembly a proper arcade or computer... And I believe arcade is dead there, in Brazil in Malls all machines have at least 10 years i would say...

And I bet the lag matters in the game (even more after seeing things like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pemlKXKQXM ) but in a gamers comparision they are the same... and if you want to take of the lag using a Xbox isn't the better solutions, it would just be the cheapier because PC would be even better...

Even though in the end this small differences don't detract from our experience in general.
