WoW!!!

So much logic spin guys.

One thing that I´m proud is my memory. I remember how Tomb Raider situation was delt here and other foruns. It also tells me that TR was never advertised to any platform before the XOne exclusive deal. Also, "...sold vastly more..." is a pointless argument, one have to assume Capcom lost money porting SF4 to Xbox 360 and they would also lose money porting to the XOne.

PC version sugest clearly that Sony moneyhated SFV in some way similar to Dead Rising, both belong to Capcon, and they can do whatever they want that is not bound by  exclusivity agrements.

This is how things works, just don´t be hypocritical saying this case is different from Tomb Raider or others third party exclusives deals.

Anything Capcom needs to be exclusive right now

SF, Deep Down, Dead Rising, MonHun (main series). They just dont seem to have the money to develop a bunch of 8th gen titles.

no, both Titanfall and TR would have been made with or without MS's involvment. you are telling me EA wouldnt want to publish a FPS made by the guys who made the CoD franchise? EA just wanted to eliminate a risk. TR reboot sold 7 million units, you are thinking that Square would have spent all that money to reboot the franchise, then after shipping 7 million units, they wouldnt make another? its all PR crap that was said. i dont know about SF5, but i would bet it would have been made with or without this exclusivity deal. 

Yeah, I think Titanfall and maybe DR3 would have been never a thing if MS wouldn't have helped to develop these games (at least financially). Tomb Raider would be also a thing without MS, otherwise it wouldn't release on PS but later. I doubt that Ms pays for something which would never release without them and then they let it also release on PS. 

Not beating around the bush about exclusivity.

Good news for PS4 owners. Bad news for XB1 owners that just bought one because it's cheap.

You're asking me to think outside the solar system.

Come at this from another perspective. Over three million people (retail only) played the game on Xbox 360, plenty of them in the USA and UK, where the Xbox One is performing fantastically.

Lets be conservative and say 2 million of them would have picked it up on Xbox One. Lets be even more conservative and say Capcom would only have seen $15 per copy on average. Thats $35 million in revenue - conservatively. For a port that might, might have cost a few million.

People that have a problem with Tomb Raider will have a problem with this. People that had no problem with Tomb Raider wont have a problem with this.

People who think this has nothing to do any form of direct financial incentive need to go back and look at the maths again . You talk about cutting costs? Diluting your viable userbase doesn't cut costs, it costs potential revenue. Thats why when Microsoft gets an exclusive, people assume money changed hands. Doesn't mean we'll ever know how much. Doesn't mean the cost wasn't less because of userbase, strength in certain regions, or legacy popularity.

But it certainly means Sony offered something serious up for the game.

I didn't include Tomb Raider example because that one was obviously moneyhatt I was talking mostly of Titanfall and Dead Rising 3.

SF developer said they didn't have the manpower to do the fifth entry. Hence why I'm saying that, just like with DR3, they may have needed a contract to make it possible. DR3, after all, ended up in PC too. This one is getting a console/PC release as well.

...and you dont think being in different generations (so different variables, markets and times) or the games being on the PS2 had anything to do with it?

How could I show a rage that I don´t feel?

This is business my friend. 

I just think it´s funny how the table turns so fast and some have to spin the logic to keep a narative: Sony good for the players, Microsoft the evil corporation blocking games from the people.

Yeah, for almost two years we´ve heard how MS strategy was wrong and doomed. How buying exclusives is a waste of money and how the heroic Sony was investing in new and interesting games and IP´s.

Now we have the... 14th? instalmente of a franchise to brag about.

Plus: I realy suck at fighting games.
