Sorry it was a typo, vitriol means fury and anger. Ps4 fans would yell, petition and boycott when a dev not sony related does something, but when sony does the same thing it's usually excused. View the address below for the phil spencer inteview.

This quote says it all.

"Now, obviously if I'm going to partner on it, I'm a platform holder, I'm hardly going to invest to go make the PlayStation version of any game. It is a business. So when we go invest with a partner on a big franchise, we're going to come with certain needs we have out of the relationship."

-Asks for a bet

-"Sony fans are such entitled fanboys!"

Maybe I'm confident in the fact that SV5 won't show up on Xbox because Sony said PS4 will be the only console it ever shows up on, but Microsoft hasn't said shit about whether or not Tomb Raider will only be on Xbox. Oh but no, we sony fans are entitled idiots. Please, continue.

I hope MS moneyhats Tomb Raider 3 too :). 

Super SF5 and SF5 are not the same game by the way, technically. 

timed-exclusive.

Good for them, more reason to make me want to purchase an Xbox One. You up for that bet, or are you not confident enough?

Exactly for a PC version, it's so funny you skipped over where he explicitly mentions playstation. Oh well man keep holding out hope for that ps4 release.

There are several differences that I'm sure you have ignored but I will now explain to you.

1. Sony clarified the nature of exclusivity at the very beginning. They said point blank, PS4 is the only console you will ever get to play Street Fight V on. On the other hand Microsoft and Square dance around the question for weeks before finally explaining that yes the deal has some sort of duration. We still of course don't know the specifics. Good PR goes a LONG way in this business, one of the many reasons PS4 is currently winning in sales.

2. We have direct and irrefutable proof that Capcom WOULD NOT FUND STREET FIGHTER V. They didn't give Ono the money to make the game. They wouldn't even give him money to put Ultra SFIV on next gen consoles. He had reuse a ton of assests just to make USFIV on last gen consoles clearly showing Capcom doesn't invest a lot of money in the franchise. So Sony stepped in and helped out with funding for a game THAT WAS NOT GOING TO GET MADE WITHOUT EXTRA FUNDING. When ROTR was announced there was never any hint about exclusivity. It was pretty clear the game was angling for a multiplat release. One of the Square Enix insiders on Gaf confirmed the game was originally multiplat but I understand not wanting to trust insiders.

I like you Soundwave, but your annoying vendetta against Sony fans is just grating on the nerves especially when it doesn't make much sense. 

Bet what exactly? Nerd cookies? 

I think Super Street Fighter V or Super Street Fighter V Uber Duper Edition will be on the XBox One at some point. Hell, Nintendo might even get a version at some point on HDS/Fusion. 

Why would MS fans be angered at MS making a deal. Sony fans have every right to be angry with the TR deal, after all the first game made profit and sold better on PS consoles.

The SFV deal on the other hand is different. It firstly sells better on PS consoles (which also have the larger install base) but also Capcom didnt have the resources to make USFIV on next gen let alone SFV. Sony must have helped develop or fund it.

OT: Also is a thread about old and well known news really getting so many responses.

So.... why hasn't MS just straight out say "ROTR is not coming to the PS4, ever"? We're still waiting for them to say that after 4 months...

OT: Thread title should be changed to "Microsoft reiterates that Tomb Raider is being published by them."
