Capcom being a shitty, mismanaged company isn't really changed or affected by the fact that some companies released shittier games. Your point isn't relevant.
I never said that they are NOT shitty. Their DLC practices are deplorable. I just said that they are certainly not the worst this gen.

"GAF's biggest wanker"
"It's ok because MS did it before".

10 year old mentality right here.
Would you prefer the more "mature" mentality that "competition is a good thing"? Because this is competition.

Welcome to the console gaming market, enjoy your stay.
 
They've gone and done it... they've gone and woke the sleeping dragon now.

Sony should have left well enough alone and now they're going to get it. It's not enough that they're bleeding benjamins from practically every crevice of their existence. Now they go and throw immense moneyhats at a niche game like Street Fighter just to piss off the market. Why pay to keep a game out of the hands of as many gamers as possible? Why not put that money into first-party studios and games instead?

I know, I know... this is the way the business goes as they say. Well, they forced Microsoft's hands with their early sales lead and Microsoft only responded with an NPD whooping (source: musings thread) by way of incredible deals and value. Microsoft will undoubtedly follow this announcement up with some real megatons of their own.

Gears remake collection. A true Banjo sequel. Halo 5 beta in the hands of gamers. The next Bayonetta, Dead Space and Crysis as exclusives. Those are the kinds of blockbuster response announcements I expect, and then some. You hit Microsoft with a jab, you best be ready for a flurry of uppercuts coming at you in response.

Yet sony keeps outselling MS worldwide and won 10 of 11 months in the US (Most likely)m, and will most likely go back to outselling x1 in the US soon.

So Sony moneyhat for SFV, everything is alright.

MS moneyhat for TR, shitstorm ensues.

Gotta love the hypocrites here.

The issue with Tomb raider is that it was announced as multi platform and then later a new trailer was shown as Xbone only. At least street fighter is being announced and revealed as an exclusive. Not announced to get everyones hopes up and then turned into an exclusive.
 
Yeah exactly how I feel. If it is a full exclusive the only reason I give Sony the benefit of the doubt that they didn't money hat the thing is not because of idealism but I just don't believe they have the capital to keep it off a competitor platform.

This is not last gen MS has no lead on Sony , if this was a money hat it most likely on the cheaper side since it also on PC.
If Sony can spend millions making games i don't see why the can spend money to make PS4 the default fighting game consoles .
Sales wise SF don't sell that great so they won't have that much money to make up .

EDIT and the next versions with be on X1 for certain .

The thing is that, it is still not the same, is it?

MS kept Tomb raider off any other platform except for theirs

Sony's exclusivity which I wouldnt even call it an exclusive is on another platform, which means even xbox one owners who have a pc can still play it

This could well be the new I'm an expert on Japanese culture.

Why aren't we upset about this? We were upset about Tomb Raider. Is this not the same exact thing? Leader of the franchise says they didn't have the budget for a sequel until Sony/Microsoft came in. Same situation. When it was Tomb Raider the internet threatened to boycott. Now it's Street Fighter and people are applauding?

I think the issue is Capcom's position is tougher. They can't afford to screw up IPs and still do, somehow. Ubisoft and EA can eat a plate of shit since they can still eke out a profit despite any rage from consumers.
 
I have an Xbox One but really enjoy Street Fighter. If this turns out to be true and it isn't a timed exclusive then I'll eventually get a PS4 as well. For the moment I'll enjoy the exclusive games for the console I do own then worry about a PS4 in a year or so when SFV finally comes out.

Really now...?
 
Third party exclusivity is going to turn into virtual hostage negotiations one day.

"We'll give you Street Fighter if you give us Tomb Raider. No funny business now."

We know why, it is pretty obvious
 
Street fighter established that rep long before smash bros.

Not if you actually played the games before. Because Street Fighter II and III are mechanically, completely different. As was the transition to IV.

The primary difference there is that the SF fanbase didn't bitch for the series to remain the exact same as Smash Bros fans did with Melee. Which is 13 years old at this point,

Which is why I don't get this move.

I just hope some of those uppercuts kinect!!

On topic, I would imagine in six months from release we will get a super update sku on all platforms. There's no need for all this baseless knee-jerk pandemonium.

We aren't sure it is exclusive worldwide yet. Also, we don't know the situation in which SFV became a PS4 exclusive, TR2 initially revealed as a multiplat title and later re-revealed as an XBO exclusive. Ono had been hinting PS4 + SF for over a year now and his latest comments made it look like Capcom was very reluctant on greenlighting projects if they weren't huge sellers. SF isn't as big as Resident Evil.
