Ever since its original announcement, Street Fighter V has been touted as a game coming only to PC and Playstation 4, many fans had wondered if the latest in the ongoing series would ever get a version on Xbox platforms.
Now, a Capcom representative has seemingly destroyed any hope that an Xbox version of the fighter will ever come, when speaking to Gamespot.
“One comment we see a lot is that something like a Super Street Fighter 5 is going to come out on Xbox,” said the representative. “But the reality is that this is a real partnership. We are console exclusive for this franchise for this numbered run.”
The representative talked up the close relationship between their company and Sony, proclaiming that Sony’s partnership has given them benefits that go beyond simple marketing prowess.
“We’re not talking about how we’re handling post-launch content, but I can say the relationship with Sony does open doors for things we haven’t been able to do in the past,” the representative said. “The relationship serves a gameplay and development purpose, and not just a marketing value.”
What do you guys think? Are third party (console or not) exclusives in this day and age just silly? Sound off in the comments below!
