I like your comment because it flies in the face of many-a PS fans critiques that a "PC/Console x" game can never be considered a real system seller for said console because it can be played on the almighty PC.

That said, this kind of news is flame fuel for the other guys. God forbid I take some wind out of their sails by citing a competitive fighter XBox One gamers have been playing since Nov. 2013.

I'm still waiting for that competitive fighter on my Xbox.

Remember not every genre is created equal. Fighting games are different than FPS. FPS games have a vibrant PC community. You lose nothing by switching to PC. Fighting games are a different story. If you want the best communit, you get the console version. This is just the way it is. Fighting game fans know it.

If your just trying to discredit the PS4, I'd stick to the typical downplay.

As far as the bought exclusives. Nintendo is the first to start this.

Unfortunate, but it aint like XBox One is lacking in the genre. Killer Instinct may not have the start power of SF, but has been a solid entry since 2013 and becoming a better game every year. End of the day, XB One users can live without this.


I know a lot of Xbox owners that disagree with you right now. They will be getting a PS4 for Street Fighter. I'm sure they will experience other superior fighters like Guilty Gear when the time comes.

Lol with all those options and everything.... 

OT this truly does suck for X1 gamers, only saving grace is it looks like low PC specs are required so atleast there's an option for them.

The Tomb Raider case is clear as well, people are just being deliberately dense.

No one has made it clear though. Ironically, the fact it hasn't been made clear is what makes it clear lol

While I've already expressed my opinion on the SF engine, I'm no fan of 3rd party exclusivity, even timed exclusivity for games (or DLC). I think I'd be ok with launching on the more popular platform first to essentially moneyhat production on other platforms, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go. Still, not certain I'll get this anyway, I love SF, but, god I hate that engine.

I would like to add the long term damage this is gonna do as well. If they release multiple iterations over an 7 year gen, that's a whole generation where SF is associated with Sony. That's gonna be an uphill battle for MS for a long time.

Nope. Its pretty much confirmed that Sony has anything within the 5 series (if there will even be the same iterations). Xbox gamers who want SF will either have to play on PC or get a PS4. They will get SF6 though.

Given how long it took from the first Street Fighter 4 iteration til Street Fighter V(basically a whole console generation, 2008 to 2016, 8 years), I don't think SF6 will be on PS4/X1....

Sony really nailed this exclusive. Unlike the GCN 'exclusivity' deal of Resident Evil4 which was meant to be GCN only but came out on other consoles in less than year and unlike the Return of the Tomb Raider exclusive which is timed, there will be no "Street Fighter V redux/definitive/super/hyper/ultra/turbo/etc" for anything other than PS4 and PC.
