I can't get behind the idea that gamers are to blame if they don't read up and be informed prior to buying. Street Fighter is the most universal fighter around, it appeals to everyone. It's always been a value packed franchise. There's no warning on the box or anything, it doesn't say "SF4.5.. other .5 to be available as a free DLC later". Average Joe shouldn't need to read IGN or something to be made aware the game was rushed out at $60 so that the small amount of pro players can practice. God, what a terrible release this was.

If GAF is anything to go by, sales reflect that. In the UK, anyway. Apparently less than 1/3 the week one sales of SFIV. We'll see if its the same WW.

We'll never know how much money Sony paid for this game so we can only speculate, but I wonder if this reaction and negative buzz was worth speeding up the release of a game that would have come anyway? Similar to the hundred threads we've seen regarding Tomb Raider.

Well at least the past insults have been answered.... Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, Ryse and of course Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Now Sony have done the eye for an eye thing and the salt is palpable. The negative reviews from xbox owners, many of them getting in on the content debate to have a go. With Colin, Gregg and the GameTrailers crews gone there seems to be a huge imbalance in representation in the media also but at the end of the day it is themselves they are doing out of future titles and work. When Capcom has no more steam left, they sure won´t be going to microsoft. IV will have been the last Street Fighter on a console other than PS. 

I... dont even get the first part of your post.

Also Xbox owners AND PS owners are bitching about content. And even PC owners. Thats what happens when you basically early access a game for $60 and without calling it early access.

And if Capcom can go PS exclusive and make it work financially, good for them. Looking doubtful though.
