SFV is exclusive to PS4/PC, But what about SSFV or USFV?

PC's a much larger market
Think they said similar stuff. Partnered with Sony, couldn't be made without them, yadda yadda. Same stuff Capcom said.

They lost KH, MGS and FF exclusivity.

Its not because it is on PC too. So if you don't want a PS4 at least you have an alternative. People would have be screaming for joy if Bloodborne had been done the same way.

rapture is fully published and funded by sony as far as we know.
and sf is too big. capcom wouldn't want to limit it to ps4 only, and sony doesn't care if it goes to pc, so sfv going to pc is probably why capcom ok'd the exclusivity, and the compromise that sony is willing to take for it to be ps4-only on consoles.
They didn't fund any of those games.

SFV coming to Xbox is looking unlikely. I believe they're going to implement regular DLC updates instead. Having to send out new retail releases for new content is a thing of the past with the advents of PSN & XBL as viable content distribution platforms.
I'm under the belief that SFV would have happened sooner or later whether or not Sony got involved, it just wouldn't have come out nearly as quickly or with the same scope.

He means they're clear in their messaging and don't beat around the bush, if its exclusive its exclusive.
One IP is completely owned by them and the other isnt.
BruceLeeRoy said no so I'll go with that. I remember some other people hinting at a full exclusivity so please feel free to correct me.
The game is co developed/funded by Sony isn't it? That makes it even less likely.
You can keep the hope alive if you want though, perhaps I may eat some delicious crow someday.

Not what he meant. When Sony says exclusive, they mean it. They don't quibble with words.
Neither did MS when Titanfall was announced exclusive. Life of the title and all that.

You will never see this on Xbox cuz fuck you...
With Miracast and window 10 maybe but that doesn't sound too appealing.

No deals involved on those games.
Its not similar because the devs were the ones that went to SSM/Sony for help/funding.

No Street Fighter V until 2018 - Capcom producer
This was from a year before SFV was announced. Sony is making SFV happen.
Yess.....
Had Sony not stepped in we would have been waiting until 2018. Sony just sped up the process.
Fairly certain so did Capcom. Like that was literally the start of their story when interviewed about, Capcom went to Sony about it.

Even if there is a chance an updated version were to come to Xbox, that chance would immediately be squashed because Capcom doesn't want to separate the fanbase. Cross-platform play is a big deal here and Microsoft won;t have that because they are kind of dumb like that. Its the same reason we won't see FF14 on an Xbox platform.

No sure what point you are trying to make, but it doesn't apply to what we were are discussing at all. A new game in franchise being being multiplatform as opposed to exclusive or something form the PS1 era being ported to PC is really stretching it that is all you can up with.
Name me a PlayStation game that was billed and released as an exclusive and showed up somewhere else within a short time frame? None of those games you mentioned was ever ported to Xbox either. Is Kindgom Hearts HD Collection or MSG4 on Xbox or PC. Are any Final Fantasy games that were released as PlayStation exclusives available on Xbox? Some PS1 FF games are PC, but no PS2 era games are that I know of.

Wasnt there an article about how Ono also had no funding or staff for SF5?

When was the last time a Playstation announced exclusive even actually ended up coming to another system? I know its happened a lot with the 360 but I really can't think of many examples the other way around.
It's not trying to instigate anything. There is an extremely large and hungry userbase of active steam accounts who purchase games, therefore the market segment is, well... not as different as (say) mobile gaming would be.

Ive said all along Super/Ultra would go to other platforms. Its just my gut feeling. Why in the world would they even hint at any news about the Super version at this point? Its the entire point of the exclusivity. Thats why we havent and wont hear anything for a long time.
Good news. It isn't.
Very rarely. But it's also incredibly rare for one of them to hit PC too.

Serious question, as I see this pop up all the time. Do you guys mean crossplatform play between PC and Xbox One, or PC, Xbox One and PS4? Does/would Sony allow crossplatform play between PS4 and Xbox One?
Where?? iirc that wasn't the case. Am on mobile and cba to find the news piece but Chinese room devs went to SSM for production support and the like because of the scale of the game + funding. No way Capcom would be in the same shoes as them.
Grim Fandando Remastered exist thanks to Sony and they are also ok with a PC version.

I don't know about Sony but MS certainly wouldn't allow it.
Capcom will treat SSFV as a separate game and it will most likely be on the X1. To think an SSFV is not going to happen is ludicrous.
""When we first began working on what's next for the vision of the Street Fighter franchise, we reached out to PlayStation," Ono said through a translator.

Wishful thinking that completely disregards what has been said by official sources and insiders on here.
Ono not only secured help to make the game with Sony's help but it's also pretty clear he has a major understanding with them about growing the competitive scene.
There is no way Capcom would have given him half a million dollars to blow as prize money for Capcom Cup 2015, and this is for USF4.
And considering the way the PS4 is selling WW, Capcom will hardly regret their decision to make it console exclusive eitherway.

Sony doesn't own the IP, but there's obviously a contractual agreement between the two companies for this deal. So not "anything is possible". There're terms and clauses that Capcom would have to adhere to.

You're right but it's interesting how even with a few kinks MK still has more content and finish than the majority of fighting games. The version thing never really made sense to me.

As TomShoe said above, and I agree: no doubt in my mind that SFV would have happened without Sony's involvement, but it's sensible to think that Sony backing up a truck of money would help speed things along and possibly increased the scope of the project. But ultimately it must have come to a business decision at Capcom between the money and exposure, or Xbox sales. I can see why they took the deal.
Wanna do a bet? If a SSFV for the Xbox One gets announced before 2018 you'll get to choose an avatar for me that I'll use for a month. If not then nothing. Let me know if you're up for it.

So in other words, Sony payed to keep SFV off Xbox One? hmmm lol
May I ask: Is there any confirmation that Sony actually funded the game?
For what its worth, I do think it'll remain exclusive and there wont be a Super / Ultra version. It seems to be working OK for KI and I would assume capcom would want to avoid any DLC issues like in the past.

uhhh...no because capcom apparently needed the funding and/or marketing.
