Virtua Fighter 5 no longer PS3 exlusive

[Erdrick Holmes]

"Turns out Virtua Fighter 5 isn’t a PlayStation 3 exclusive, as Sega announced today that the title is also headed to Xbox 360."

OUCH...

"Sega said that the title will hit Microsoft’s console in late summer 2007 in North America and Europe. The arcade-native fighter is scheduled to arrive on PS3 on February 20 in North America."

I've never been so happy in my life.
I have now ZERO reason to spend 500 dollars.

lol Sony.


This makes me grin, I'm glad I won't need a PS3 to play VF5. I'm getting a 360 anyway.

Is anything PS3 exclusive anymore? First Assasin's Creed now this. I lost all hope of a ps3 for Assasins Creed. Goodbye over the top visuals Ill miss you.

Sony still has Final Fantasy and Metal Gear. That's about it, though.

It's coming out a lot earlier on PS3, so I'm sure it will still sell a few systems. *coughJKTrixcough* But this is still a big blow.

Unless FFXI did good enough on the Xbox for them to want a creation of FFXIII.

And the fact Sony lost GTA (though personally not a big deal to me) is going to hurt them greatly. GTA is a big seller. Things are looking even worse for the PS3.

How is it Sony exclusive when it's been on Nintendo products?

Ill probably still end up getting the PS3 version but if the 360 version has online Im definately getting that.

The Next Big Installment in each franchise still goes to Sony. By far, that's what draws the most cash.

All of the original FF's were Nintendo. Plus, you can't say it's Sony exclusive if other titles were made for other systems. Old or not, the original FF's make it not exclusive.

He's not saying the series are exclusive, he's saying FFXIII and MGS4 are PS3 exclusive, which is true.

Misunderstanding then.

Virtua Fighter 5 unfortunately will not have online multiplayer on any system. They don't want to compromise perfection with the limits of internet latency. I heard that it will use the VF.Net service though--while it's not multiplayer, it tracks stats and replays and all this sort of stuff. I saw it in Japan, it's actually quite awesome if they're going to be bringing the whole VF.Net/VFTV to the consoles.
