Even if it would happen... Getting the competitive edge in advance is pretty big for fighting game fans. A year of training head start? Nobody who is serious about learning the game will wait that long.

There's no such thing.
He ain't wrong. It's not like the TR deal, where if you wait long enough, you'll get it one PS4. Seems set in stone.
I'd think there's more money to be made in converting people to their new games on the next gen console.
I also don't know how much Capcom will make when I buy my hori stick or non branded TE2.
But enlighten me, please.
In this case this means "not on Xbox".
It's not final box art though.
For those who want to support the cause to let PS3 stick be used in SF5, walk this way.
On-topic, I stand by my point. Whatever assets Sony may have made for SF5 would have to be approved before SSF5 can go to XB1.

speaking of Mega Man if console peeps are going to fund games that wouldn't otherwise be made, SOMEONE please save Mega Man

Megaman is forever dead. It's time to move on.
From what we know of capcom, the losses of their last few games have made them super cautious of funding new projects.
The bloated development or RE6 and the flop of DmC probably hurt them alot.
Think about the fact that RE6 sold nearly 6 million copies worldwide and it was still considered a dissapointment to capcom.
They are not gonna take any unecessary risks for future projects, and it seemed like Ono felt that the fighting game division would be held to the same standards.
Amazing box cover
Awesome.
I hope they do all the Limited Editions and fightsticks like they did with SFIV too.

That's what makes the SF is a legendary series that Capcom would have made regardless arguments feel a little less merit-less to me. The same can be said about many Capcom properties including Megaman and thats... well... back to Smash.

Don't worry buddy, I'm sure the 16+ million PS4 owners will keep Street Fighter alive and well.

It's dead, Jim
Nintendo found a use for the character at least
I was actually convinced that the Super/Ultra/Arcade iteration of SFV would eventually come to the Xbox One but if that isn't the case then this is pretty big.
Capcom partnered with MS to fund Dead Rising 3
Capcom partnered with Sony to help develop Deep Down
Capcom partnered with Sony to fund Street Fighter V
It seems Capcom either can't or won't fund a AAA release alone, and would rather have financial and/or development backing with another party.
I think if they actually put out a new SFV iteration, maybe that's a possibility? But if it's just updates like they've done with SF4 after Super, highly doubt it's ever coming to Xbox.
Capcom just has different priorities, they blew all their profits from MH4 to revamp their mobile division.
Seems they are trying to lower risk on the console side as much as possible and collaborations are their solution.
They have a ton of great IPs so first parties would be more than glad to partner up. Not to mention PS4+PC is a pretty damn safe bet for this gen.

30+ million by the time the game actually releases.
I can't see how Capcom couldn't have done this on their own given how huge the series is, at best I can see it being a case where they'd leave it on the backburner awhile longer but Sony made them an offer and they decided what the hell, may as well just get the game made sooner than later instead. Then again it took a lot of arguing with Capcom execs to even get SFIV made, so maybe they really do suck that way.
However, the fact it's cross platform for multiplayer raises questions on if perhaps going for a single unified community outside of the arcade was a factor? I actually am for exclusives if rather than taking advantage of unique hardware or being financed by the platform holder they take advantage of different policies, such as cross platform play. I think this may've been an outright mistake in the case of Elder Scrolls Online trying to hit all three platforms as third parties typically do, as an MMO really shouldn't have a fragmented base if it can be helped.

Yeah, THAT can really be a case of being completely screwed up on the exec side. I guess it's kind of like a stupider version of what's going on with SE in that you had you had a collection of great game makers but you get too fixated on chasing the biggest fish and being risk averse to not properly USE that game maker advantage. And thus must of them leave and form their own studios. Granted a lot of those were more niche darlings than market successes, but for every Okami that you can go "well ok if it was a success it wasn't a BIG one" you have Street Fighter where it's "dude HOW many copies of that did you sell?"

if this is how they operate now can someone collaborate and get us Onimusha and Rival Schools please
If their work is high enough quality, I don't have a problem with that (assuming they have the recognition/support to do so). Shared investment, shared advantage. Dead Rising 3 was super fun. I really do think more focus in what's considered AAA development can lead to better games, or at least more polished games.

Is there a reason why Microsoft is hesitant to allow cross-platform play? Is it a security issue?
Cause you're sure no one will buy the game on pc right?

I really hope this feature turns out to be huge so MS reconsiders that awful policy (cross platform online is just the way things should be, IMO).
I think usually the issue (that BOTH probably have) is that they don't want to work with the competing service, and so when going with both of them and maybe Nintendo then it's easier just to make each one their own little island.
Seems however that Microsoft's cold on PC cross play period whereas Sony and likely even Nintendo are warmer to the idea. It'd be better if they WOULD all play together on that front, but at a minimum it'd be nice to at least have PC cross play if possible, even if you had to have PS4PC, XB/PC, or even Wii/PC servers when it shows up (DQX?)

Right, I see where you are coming from, and it could of course be true. I just think it could as likely not be, and that the details its easy to think are carved out for the next few iterations, may not be at all.

I think OP mistook denial for confusion. The exclusivity seemed pretty damn clear cut.
I would have got the game on Xbox One (in addition to PS4/PC) if there was a version, and it might even have been my system of preference for the game. I love the snap/TV features, even if the hardware specs are lower. Having a twitch stream on the screen while messing around in a game is pretty cool. So that's kind of a bummer.
However, I'm very excited about this IP getting actual development support from a platform holder, plus the unified player base. Capcom has been on shaky ground, and Sony taking an active role in supporting and promoting the game is huge. They've even got their 3rd party team working on the Ultra port. Having Capcom's resources freed up a bit might help bring other titles to life. If that's the cost of console exclusivity, that's a no-brainier choice for me. This is a rare case in which I this the end result will work out better for fans of the game and maybe even the genre in general.
Too bad Seth Killian left Sony. Getting him involved again on SF somehow would have been an interesting twist.

Is there a reason a SF fan can't just play on PC?

I just hope that Capcom doesn't pull an SSF4 with SSF5 where they don't bring it over to PC. That would be awful.
Console exclusive is cool and all as long as I have the option for PC. I have an X1/PC setup anyway.

I don't know how much they spent on that, but right now it feels like an incredible waste of money.
They have nothing to show for (Deep Down isn't out, and it has been almost 2 years since the reveal) they haven't shown anything else using it, and given their financial situation, i really don't get why they wanted to waste money on a proprietary engine, when they could've just used UE4 or whatever.
What I've learnt the last couple of days is that to a significant portion of people on here, PC doesn't seem to exist sadly.
Tournament players will most likely play on both, though. PS4 at tournaments for obvious reasons. Everyone else can and will play on whatever platform they want.

That isn't going to happen.
They're probably going to give us the option to only play with PS4 players anyway.

I'm not sure about that; I meant it more like how MS help fund development of DR3. Atleast I think that was the case; didn't they basically approach Capcom on DR3 for 360 and then helped them in converting to to XBO?

To be fair, Wong and PR play on PC some times on their streams. PC will be my preferred choice of purchase. The fact that the community will be unified is damn awesome. I wish we could see this happen with other fighters because it would keep the players together. I wish this was happening with Tekken 7.
