That almost double install base is starting to show its power.
Thanks jlmurph!

Not that I'm ruling that out, but you don't know if it was moneyhatted. XBone has 0 presence in Japan and sells poorly in Europe (outside of the UK), and those regions make up at or over 50% of Street Fighter's sales. Coupled with the fact that SF is already a PS skewed franchise (as of late), it could just be a matter of cutting their losses (just like how a game like Dynasty Warriors ended up PS4 exclusive, despite the game being able to sell a little in the west).
Something like this has many visible factors possibly at play (speculation, yes, but reasonable speculation). As opposed Tomb Raider, a game that always sells better on PS than Xbox, being pulled from PS and PC (where every iteration has landed) because of a "deal" MS made.
If Sony moneyhatted this game, like I said before, it'd be bullshit. But SF going exclusive isn't as random and out of the blue as TR going exclusive, timed or not.

Yup. Plus Q1, Q2 of 2015 will help it to pass more than double. This is excellant.

The MS Tomb Raider deal pulled the game even from PC, the platform it was built on and released on since it's creation. Here we don't know if Sony paid for it or if it was a Capcom decision. |
Dude, come on. It sold over 3 million on Xbox 360. Of course Sony paid.
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
Big announcement. PS4 looking stacked for exclusives going forward, unless just being a console exclusive with a PC version doesn't count all of a sudden.
Shame it seems to have leaked early though
| Intrinsic said: This has nothing to do with moneyhatting. If sony did that it won't be coming to PC. And I think this deal was set in stone for a very very very very long time. Anyone remember this PS4 ad?
I just hope MS doesn't allow stuff like this start getting traction. Cause its the single orst thing that can happen to the XB1 if we start seeing natural third party exclusives. |
Then Crash Bandicot is also coming to PS4??????????? OMG OMG OMG 
Well that was certainty not expected.

It sold more then that on PS2 , so i guess Microsoft can buy Capcom more then SONY. Yeah that's the logic 
So annoyed with established IP's turning "exclusive". I would be okay with it if it is a revived franchise or a new IP, like TF or SO.....but this stuff with Tomb Raider and SF is annoying. Part of the reason people buy consoles early on is because of the pipeline, messing with the pipeline in this way and like with Tomb Raider should be unacceptable.

This is what I thought as well, but the announcement of PC thrown me off because PC versions are usually announced later and released later than the console.
I think SF5 will likely stay exclusive to PS4 and PC but then Super SF5 and then on will be for XB1 as well.
