I sure hope not, because SFV was Sony countering RTR exclusivity. The last thing we need is escalating competition on the buying up of until now multiplat franchises.

O .. M .. F .. G .. !!!!! (sorry)

In part is it about having an answer to Uncharted 4? The comparison between the last Tomb Raider and Uncharted has been made.

Phil Spencer: Totally. I'm a big fan of Uncharted and I wish we had an action adventure game of that ilk. We've started some, and we've looked at them. But we don't have one today of that quality. This is an opportunity.

One thing has no relation to the other. Why MS went after RTR exclusivity is irrelevant for how Sony responded to the RTR exclusivity. Sony cannot let something like RTR exclusivity simply slide with the shrug of the shoulders. If anything the SFV exclusivity is a clear message to MS that even though Sony's pockets aren't as deep, they still have a well of money which can be deployed for this sort of thing, and MS should think twice about assuming they can buy up existing mutliplat IP with impunity

Are you seriously? Street Fighter V has been in development for more than 4 months, you know that right?
