Nah, you can always make marketing/exclusive deals that don't include complete console exclusive availability. See: Destiny, CoD, The Division, etc. Also, 152 million in the bank might not mean much depending on how much revenue was coming in and what assets they had. Clearly, Capcom did ok. Also, when smaller devs can make games that run on all these different systems and networks, I refuse to believe the cost would have been substantial for Capcom to make an Xbone version that didn't have crossplay.
And remember, I am not saying they should have made an Xbone version. I was just pointing out the fallacy in someone elses argument against it. Like my original post in this thread says, for all we know, Capcom is more than happy with the money they got from Sony + revenue from SFV sales.

Remember, this IS the same company that tried to ram the 24 hour DRM, mandatory Kinect and anti-used game policies down our throats, I guess we can add this one to the pile. Sony at least has the courtesy to ACT like they care about consumers (yeah, I know they don't, so spare me), MS makes it no secret they don't give a damn about you, they don't even try to hide it. That might explain why so many people switched from the 360 last gen to PS4 this gen, hmm. Also, you guys act like Sony had ANYTHING to do with it. Newsflash: they didn't. Capcom went to Sony for SFV, not the other way around for this exact same reason as explained in the article. |
Ignoring how utterly hilarious it is to see someone railing on MS for anti-gamer policies while making excuses for Capcom's financial state, none of this you typed here is relevant to what I said regarding whether SFV would work on Xbone without crossplay. This just reads like a bitter rant against MS. I can't help you there, friend.
I've been warned and even banned lately for discussing SFV for reasons that are beyond me, so before I cross that line again somehow, this will be my last post in this thread.
