A shitload of japanese games were ps3 exclusives last gen, mostly rpgs. Japanese people do want to support Sony, but Sony was the underdog last gen. Now that they are the undisputed winner this gen, I believe many Japanese devs want to scratch Sony's back. 

 

I doubt Sony gave Capcom money for this exclusive, they have to watch their cashflows. My guess is Sony guarantees Capcom a sales number, let's say 6 million units. And then all Sony has to do is market the hell out of a SF5 ps4 bundle. With the momentum PS4 has right now, this is an easy win-win for both Sony and Capcom. 

I'm thinking more like this. I doubt Sony paid any money. Noi need. In the regions where Street Fighter is biggest, it will be an absolute shutout win for the PS4. Also, a moneyhat would be for full exclusivity, not a shared property with PC (also why I believe this will remain console exclusive on PS4, regardless of the Supers, Ultras, and Super Dupers). 

I called this a few months back - that the PS4 would start seeing 3rd party exclusives more and more (although, I meant full, but this is getting there). I expect a few more before the gen is over, big ones.

And you know that it was not moneyhatting where capcom demanded at least a PC version because of what exactly?

If I am capcom and someone wants my game I am dictating the rules not the other company.  Console gamers dont care about PCs for the most part otherwhise noone would buy a console version if the PC port is superior.

Sony probably also does not care because Sony also makes PC games. (not SCE tho)
