Again, Tomb Raider. And idc what excuses you wanna apply to SFV, someone said MS started third party exclusives, I was simply correcting that poster and letting him know they existed long before :)

Yeah... this is a false equivalency. At first sight, it looks like the ROTR and SFV situations are similar. However, SFV's situation was more similar to Bayonetta 2's. From what Capcom said, anything that is "_____ Street Fighter V: _____ Edition" or the like won't be going to the XBO. For the XBO to get SF, it'll have to be SFVI or a spin-off a la SF x Tekken.

Also, Sony/Capcom and Microsoft's reactions to SFV and ROTR, respectively, have been drastically different. Capcom's statement was quite blunt whereas Microsoft kept beating around the bush until Phil finally straight out said "timed" on Twitter.

Here's also OrbitalMatrix's take on the situation, which I found very apt:

"Yeah, I need to ask all of the naysayers. If Capcom can't even find the cash to port USF4 to next generation consoles, then why do think it so easy to build a brand new SF game from the ground up for next generation consoles. No one has any doubts that at some point in 2018 or later we would have got SFV anyway. As it stands, however, we're getting the game in March 2016, because of Sony's involvement, and with cross platform play to boot.

Without the involvement of Sony I can guarantee two things:

1) We'd be waiting years to play this game.
2) It would be on Xbox One and there would be no cross platform play.

I think the benefits outweigh the fact one platform is missing out, personally. Just happy we're getting Street Fighter V, and soon."


Thats a lot of text trying to analyze a very simple comment. Again, one person says MS started the whole 3rd party exclusive thing, i simply corrected him. What MS is doing with Tomb Raider 2015 or what Sony is doing with SFV in terms of funding are irrelevant to both the comment i quoted and my response to it.

Last post I will make on this subject.
