Only in the dumbest interpretation, he's clearly saying he wants PS3 to be an aspirational item, something a person desires and will do all they can to own one. Not 'lol, can't afford it? Try working harder, scrubs!'

except microsoft reneged on their ideal version of the xbox one. are you saying capcom will renege on their ps4 console exclusivity. and we don't treat them the same because the situations aren't the same.

Which comments? The ones full of salt or the ones full of glee?

Am I the only one who would much rather have D.Dark than Skullomania?
I have a PS4 and will be buying SFV when it comes out, no salt involved. Not everything is a fanboy war you know.

The days of fighting games having the same appeal as they used to in the 90s has long since passed. Now the only fighting game to pull crazy numbers is smash.
Mkx is one of the best selling games this year.
Unless you're going to call out individuals on their hypocrisy, there is absolutely no point in labeling GAF as a hive mind. It isn't a singular entity and your argument then just ends up being a lazy one.
To be honest, I wouldn't go on leeh's word, that poster made some strange comments in sales threads without any evidence.
Arguing that the situations are the same is wrong. They are not the same, despite what others will tell you.
A. Rise of the Tomb Raider is coming to PS4 a year later and the PC version was delayed months to get it out of the part of the year where games sell the most.
B. The PC version of Street Fighter V is coming day and date.
C. Microsoft paid to keep a game already in production off of one platform, Sony helped to fund a game in its beginning stages.
Also, stop using quotation marks unless you're either quoting someone, or it's clear what the irony you're going for is. It's confusing to read people's tone on the internet as it is, when you start adding weird quotation marks, it becomes next to impossible to figure out what you're saying.
Shenmue fanboy!

No it isn't. You guys are really reaching with the 2nd job comments. If you want to play it, then you know what to do, simple as that. I wanted halo, so I brought an xbox. Also, Leeh certainly isn't the poster to follow if we're talking objectivity.

I was going to get this game on the PC but entirely skipping it now with that remark.
Is it? I stand corrected then. That's great news and hope it means more Fighters share in its success.
I really like Skullomania but I don't think he's that popular. With the game at launch being half SF2 characters and a fourth Alpha characters, I feel they are sticking with what butters their bread and there's a host of characters they can bring back before they need to dip into the EX series. EX characters are probably just above Sawada in terms of popularity.
Sweet words won't change the facts. Regardless of how he spoke, the message would be: You will need a PS4 or a PC and, between those, PS4 is the cheaper alternative.
I appreciate he being honest and straightforward, anything less would be worse.

The PS4 is the true successor to PS2 so we best be glad we can enjoy most 3rd party multiplatform games as well as a return to form for Japan all on one console. Makes it easier than spreading support to another which doesn't have the same pull in Japan as Xbox.
SF5, that could be multiplatform but the cross play and openness or Sony for broader things means we will get the best SF5 possible. That's something we'd be lacking if this was also on the boner instead of a Plantation exclusive.

Yeah, it sold over 5 million copies
D. Dark would totally be my second choice if it makes you feel any better.
If someone asked insomnia "what do you say to ps4 gamers that want Sunset Over Drive"
What would they say? If I'm correct I'm pretty sure they said something similar
Guess what? I saved up and bought a Xbox one for sunset overdrive
It's the way exclusives work
No matter how that line is delivered, it all comes down to the fact you need to save up money to buy this game, you should probably buy the system now while it's only $300
There is nothing wrong with that
Would you rather buy it when the price goes back up to $350??

I'm not sure why this is so funny but I'm still laughing.
So you never were going to get it.

well that's why PR exist, to tell hard truth in a way that doesn't affect possible future consumers. But there are ways to tell the truth without being sarcastic. Well I guess that's the kind of person Ono is. I suppose if Kamiya is asked about Scalebound on PS4, he would reply in a similar fashion.
Nope, nope, nope.
You are essentially equating the comments, which is completely wrong. Given the context, and the arrogance in which some of them were said, they are not the same.
Sony was trying to defend a horrible pricing structure for the PS3. A console should never be priced so high that someone needs to get a 2nd job to afford it. People called Kutagari out for this fairly, as it was an arrogant statement to make. However, the damn thing still sold like hotcakes, so maybe he was somewhat justified in saying it?
Don Mattrick was trying to justify ridiculous anti-consumer practices planned for the XB1 and essentially told people if you don't like it, buy a 360. Again, idiotic comment to make, and MS's 180 shortly after proves it.
Ono was asked what do you have to say to SF fans on XB1. He said, you'll have to buy a PS4... nothing false, nothing underhanded, or misleading, nothing else to say really. I mean, what do you want him to say? I suppose he could have mentioned PC, but that doesn't take away from the fact that XB owners can't play it.

And making assumptions make you look like an ass. You don't know what I do with my life so don't make stupid assumptions.
Got to ask which executives told the truth? If you mean tomb raider. Yeah people going to mad when they finally told the truth after trying to hide and obfuscate it. Also the second job quote doesn't exist.
And people are constantly complaining about shitty PR comments....so, really don't understand what people want here if it's not just the truth.
But, again, I don't understand console wars and just buy the shit I want and the means to play it. The idea that having to do so is somehow insulting to consumers is beyond me.
You : "Wow i can't wait to play this awesome fighting game i've been anticipating!"
Ono "There's plenty of time to save up for a PS4, they are pretty cheap nowadays!"
You "WTF HOW DARE YOU ONO, NOT BUYING!"
Yeah, excuse me if i don't see any real credibility with your viewpoint on that.

To be fair, it was a silly statement to begin with based off what was said.
It was a quick answer to a dumb question. His answer was reasonable considering PS4 is the main platform for the game and sony is helping to make it happen. If the answer was get a PC, then you'd have a wave of "outrage" from other groups. I mean come on, folks are already equating what he said to needing a second job, I could only imagine if he mentioned PC.
amazing how now PC matters. any other time it's but my comfy couch gaming, 60" inch screens, $1500 to get a decent system, accessibility, etc.
and now that's supposed to be an option over a $300 system.

Apart from the fact that the comments regarding the PS3 and the XBO were made by the platform CEO types, were made when talking about questionable pricing or platform service choices, and were made in a reasonably serious manner.
Ono's comment was clearly tongue in cheek regarding a question that at this point doesn't necessarily warrant a particularly sensitive answer imo

Relax, I was responding to a post that made it sound like the only way to play the game was the PS4.

Cause you hear Drake saying.. " playing Killer instinct with my woes.. You know how that shit go, don't talk to xbox one fans they're too irrational yo!"
That last comment was incredible, lol. I can't blame him, people have probably been asking him the same questions regarding an Xbox One version every single week since the game was revealed and I can only guess he's pretty much done with saying the same thing over and over again.
It's not coming out for the Xbox One.
