Btw. looking at the X1 subreddit this is apparently still not enough confirmation for some (a lot of?) Xbox fans that this game will make its way over to the PS4, geez.

The unrealistic  hopes that some cling to.

There really isn't much logic behind it, the basic argument builds on the fact that MS is publishing the game on Xbox and that they're helping with development in some way (I'm still certain they are only helping with optimization), which can basically still be broken down to MS paying money to SE and nothing else.

MS paid $50 mil to Rockstar for GTA IV timed DLC and who knows how much to Activision for the CoD timed DLC, but this is suddenly a totally different situation because they are publishing the game on Xbox

Exactly. In short moneyhatting. Capcoms situation is different. Sony is literally funding the development  of street fighter. And we were notified of it before it was halfway through development making it believable that they aren't  just mincing words and capcom needed the money. As you said, microsoft if they are paying for anything at all it is an optimized version of what their competition should already be getting. Truly though....hasn't this been the case for a while  now? They've been fighting his framerate/resolution based battle of inches since launch .
