Microsoft doesn't have Uncharted and Sony doesn't have Killer Instinct. sounds like fair game to me.
If Xbox gamers don't make a big deal of this as PS gamers did of Tomb Raider's exclusivity deal, then we will know why. It is because PS gamers play games and Xbox gamers play fantasy football. Don't try to deny it. You all acted appalled with the Xbox One debut but Microsoft knew your guilty pleasure from the start, and Microsoft knew it very well.
No developers got death threats and video game journalists didn't have to predict the end of the gaming industry because of exclusives today. It is a cause for the celebration of sensibility.
Sure this kind of sucks SF V won't be on the Bone, but I'll probably stick to PC with this, since I have SF4 on there as well. Smart pick-up move by Sony though, if Ultra SF doesn't stick, I'm sure this will make PS4 the go to for esports probably.
the game is exclusive - looking at the original wording. it is just timed exclusive. it sounds like only a holiday exclusive, too
It still is very vague what is exactly going to haplen with RotTR. Phil Spencer said MS clearly didn't buy the TR franchise and that it was just this game. The words timed have never been mentioned. It really is all up in the air.
I also remember Crystal Dynamics saying something along the lines of....you ARE still getting LC and the Temple of Osiris towards PS gamers. So yeah....we'll have to wait and see.

The death threats may still come. It was only a quick video leak that Capcom holed up very quickly for damage control. The official announcement may draw much more attention. But still, I think it is weird that it is releasing on PC even though Sony paid for it to not be on Xbox. It's like Windows is no longer Microsoft's platform.
but its the case now. gamers in search of the next fighter are likely to lean towards thd platform with exclusive fighters and third party fighters. since Microsoft had this covered with Killer Instinct, what point would it be for those fans to move towards the other platform that lacks both first and third party fighters? they might as well give their competitor the ball if they had no plans in giving fighter fans a reason to invest in their platform, wouldn't you say? fair is fair.
so like I say, Microsoft doesn't have Uncharted and Sony doesn't have Killer Instinct.
so ironic..... first it was Sony not being able to make a temporary price cuts because only their PlayStation division is profitable. but all of a sudden, they have money to buy out major exclusives.
ok, which one is it?
Sony is doing exactly that with Destiny and such. Destiny is published by SCEJ and PS exclusive in Japan
MS do not earn a single cent on software released on Windows. But more games/softwares on windows means people will still keep using windows.
With like 25k install base for X1, I would not bother with localise version of my X1 game anyway, if I am the developer. Thats just the reality of X1 in Japan.
Nearly 40K now, that's about the same number of people you can seat at Everton's Goodison Park.
if you like fighters and own a PS4 or PC, can only be good news for you.
of course Sony has the money to throw around, they've used it to good effect on lots of exclusive content or console tie-ins.
i play games on xbox and i could care less about this game being exclusive to any console.If Xbox gamers don't make a big deal of this as PS gamers did of Tomb Raider's exclusivity deal, then we will know why.

do they need Uncharted? after all, they have the original in Tomb Raider.
I think that was the point. MS have a fighter exclusive in Killer instinct, Sony didn't and now they do.
MS didn't have a 3rd person action & adventure game like Uncharted, but now they do in the form of Tomb Raider.
Both companies are simply filling holes in their line ups.
especially battling Vega on level 8. Had to time your attack perfectly when he would sprang on the cage. Hell, I always thought he was tougher then Sagat and Bison. Man those were the days ...
I love Street Fighter and don't own a PS4. I'll definitely pick this up for PC, and hopefully my Xbox 360 sticks will be compatible with it.
Let's see.....
Tomb Raider during the 32-bit era had a "partnership" deal where Sony and Core Designs/Eidos did exclusivity locking out many Sega/Nintendo systems:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Design
After the release of the original Tomb Raider, which had debuted on the Sega Saturn platform ahead of the PlayStation version (they had been developed simultaneously) Sony Computer Entertainment recognised the game's popularity and the potential mass appeal of future Tomb Raider titles. SCE offered Core Design and Eidos Interactive an exclusivity agreement, to ensure that the first sequel would not be developed for either the Saturn or the Nintendo 64. The full terms of this offer have never been revealed. By making the PlayStation the only console with Tomb Raider II, Sony Computer Entertainment was able to benefit by attracting new PlayStation owners leveraging Tomb Raider as a killer application and using Lara Croft as a marketing character alongside Sony's own first party characters. Core Design also had the advantage of developing only for a single console, rather than several at once. This exclusivity agreement was further extended to cover the third game in the series. The fourth and fifth games in the franchise, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider Chronicles respectively, were also released for the Sega Dreamcast.
No uproar
MS and SE do a partnership deal for the next TR game: Uproar
I'll take a guess and that SF5 being exclusive to PS4 on consoles will lead to..... No uproar
Just watch as hardcore Sony fans downplay it as good news and good for gaming, while not bringing up the recent MS/TR deal.
Also, IMO Sony fans are just much louder. The GAF threads about how various games like VF, Tekken, FF13 and such coming to Xbox were gut wrenching. A hit game like Mass Effect being turned multiplat didn't lead to Xbox fans crying all over.
And when Bungie/MS split and they announced a multiplat sci-fi game, nobody really cared either that whatever they make is multiplat going forward.
For some reason, out of all the gaming groups, Sony fans seemed to have the biggest "entitlement" attitude in general.

you do know SOE is owned by Sony, right? who do you think they mainly make games for? Sony isn't trying to kill off the PC; they're simply trying to bridge the PC and console entertainment into the livingroom. hence the name Sony Computer Entertainment.
