Strange, I was told Sony doesen't moneyhat. Anyhow, this probably timed. There will likely be multiple releases this gen as well.

Not that I'm ruling that out, but you don't know if it was moneyhatted. XBone has 0 presence in Japan and sells poorly in Europe (outside of the UK), and those regions make up at or over 50% of Street Fighter's sales. Coupled with the fact that SF is already a PS skewed franchise (as of late), it could just be a matter of cutting their losses (just like how a game like Dynasty Warriors ended up PS4 exclusive, despite the game being able to sell a little in the west).

Something like this has many visible factors possibly at play (speculation, yes, but reasonable speculation). As opposed Tomb Raider, a game that always sells better on PS than Xbox, being pulled from PS and PC (where every iteration has landed) because of a "deal" MS made.

If Sony moneyhatted this game, like I said before, it'd be bullshit. But SF going exclusive isn't as random and out of the blue as TR going exclusive, timed or not.
