Ono Said Xbox Owners Will Need to Purchase A PS4 to Play SFV

Street Fighter V producer Yoshinori Ono recently gave an interview with GameSpot in which he outright told Xbox One users they should go out and buy a PS4. The producer said this way, they will be able to play Street Fighter V when it finally comes out. While there was once talk the game will eventually be coming to the Xbox One, Capcom has come out and said the game will be exclusive to Sony’s console and the PC for the title’s lifetime.

The company has made a number of comments about why it chose to go with Sony over Microsoft and Ono laid out at least one more. In the interview, he hinted that putting the game on the PS4 has allowed Capcom to offer balance updates for free for the first time. “For the first time in franchise history we’re going to allow all balance adjustments to be available free of charge, so we’re treating it as a platform,” Ono said, discussing the benefits of working with the platform holder. “If you purchase the game, you’ll be able to upgrade to the content throughout its lifespan and you’re never going to be punished if you take a break from playing the game.”

While Ono said that gamers have plenty of time to go out and get themselves a PS4, time is actually running out if they want to play the game on launch day. Street Fighter V is due to hit the PS4 and PC on February 16, 2016, before the game hits read out our Wiki and study up on the game.

That is straight forward and direct. I for one is looking forward to this game just like I am enjoying Tomb Raider right now.

or they could just play on pc.

Lems hate anything over 900p, so PC is out.

We have a product for people who can't get Street Fighter V, it's called Playstation 4.

“We see a lot of this online. It’s not coming to PS4 or PC.”

LOL

I give SFV a year before its on Xbox

@flyincloud1116: They also don't like cinematic slideshows so go figure.

one of the 50 versions of street fighter 5 over the next two years will make it to xbone.

Not like it matters. Xbox owners have the superior fighter in Killer Instinct Season 4... hahaha lol couldn't keep a straight face. That's one of the weakest fighters in the market right now. Thank goodness for Guilty Gear Xrd, & in a couple of months SFV. :)

Killer Instinct is better.

@ladyblue: You probably have never played Killer Instinct. You could at least give it a credit for 90fps code which ensures flawless multiplayer experience that other fighters can dream of.

It's laughable what you're doing.

@mems_1224: I don't think Capcom could suffer blatantly lying like that. They said it isn't coming to Xbox and that there wouldn't be a second version hundreds of times now.

they said street fighter v wasnt coming to xbox. they never said super ultra mega #street fighter v @champion edition 4 wasn't coming to xbone.

at Double Helix/Rare making a better fighter than Arc, or Capcom. Lol the stupid things fanboys say. xD

You guys should play a proper fighter every now, & then. Perhaps borrow your friends ps4. :)

Stop posting.

Like others have said, there will be 10 different variations of the same game each selling over a million copies from blind fanboys willing to spend full price for a single character, those variations will be on all systems.

Capcom's main cash cow, add a few characters, release the game again, watch a low cost game generate 100's of millions of cash.

That's what I was thinking. I have an even a better answer for Mr. Ono though. Xbox owners should just not buy it for any platform. Continue to play SFIV or any of the other multiple SF games that exist on other platforms. I'd rather play Mortal Kombat X or Killer Instinct anyways. SFV beta was a disaster. Mr Ono may want to concentrate on that instead of worrying what XB1 gamers will be playing or buying. lmao!!!

*****************************************************************************************************

You've never played Killer Instinct so do us all a favor and STFU. lol!! KI is an awesome fighting game. If you've played SF IV, then you've played SFV. lol!!

Now that's a salt wound. :P

I'm sure your "decision" to not buy this will hurt capcom financially. Can you even boycott a game that's no announced to come to your system? lol

I own an PS4 as well, dumb dumb. lol!! Still not buying it. I already own SF IV. No real reason to get it. Plus Mortal Kombat X and Killer Instinct are more fun for me. I'd get Guilty Gear on the PS4 before SFV.

That's about the dumbest thing I've seen on this site in some time. Congrats

What? It made your lem senses tingle?

Your obvious stupid reaction is the silliest thing a lem could say.

No cow, you made the list of stupid things said by cows. You've joined the likes of El Tormented, grenadelaugher and kinectthemoron. That's some elite company

LOL the daily dose of salt ITT.

Ono, I already own a PS4 and wont be buying your game. Fighters just bore the shit out of me. But I hope its an excellent game so those that look forward to it enjoy it.

@kingtito:

And you aren't any different than nyac, enough said I just dropped the mic. Begone clown.

They're not missing much, imo

Still doesn't negate the stupidity coming from your cow ass in this thread. Nice try and deflecting but you're still a moronic cow and quickly getting into the ranks for those mentioned in my previous post.

Again, congrats cow.

@kingtito: Love your irony man. Love it.

What else are they REALLY gonna say? of course they aren't even gonna mention the PC version because they obviously have a deal with sony.

Are you coming to the rescue of a fellow cow?

What irony amigo? I don't make stupid statements about "lems not liking anything above 900p" or the cow version of such.

I do like how you're always coming to cows rescue though. Still claiming you're neutral?

There are many more games not going to release on xbone,I doubt Sony have anything to do with it...

I was gonna buy the PC since the beginning anyway ever since Crapcom decided to butcher the females with there censuring BS and think goodness for mods on PC. Also, you guys need to leave Sony alone, they didn't do nothing wrong, SFV is coming to PC and unlike MS, Rise of the Tomb Raider only was available for Xbox One/360 and they could at least release Rise on PC as well and let PS4 get it last. Thank you Sony for giving PC gamers the option to play SFV.

So you think capcom just decided to cut off an entire fanbase and is getting NOTHING for it in return?

i think its pretty clear some kind of deal was made.

Lems have Killer Instinct, the game 17 people are still playing so why would it matter to them?

Aside from indie games none of the big devs will make games exclusive unless Sony does have something to do with it ala SF5.

Why would devs miss out on potentially 15million+ consoles? It wouldn't take much effort to port over to the X1 or PS4.

lol

Okay, so you obvious don't like anything over 900p. What other reason would that offend you so much. Soft feelings of a lem.

I will not buy a PS4 just for this game. Also while Killer Instinct isn't bad it's not a fighter I consistently play. I would rather play street fighter to be honest. Well at least I have Mortal Kombat. I will end up get SFV for the PC after Juri and the bugs for the game is fixed though.

First let's see if it's something worth playing (hopefully not launch broken like Ultimate Street Fighter IV), it turns out Capcom really wasn't lying that they couldn't afford to make the game, largely from horrible publishing decisions that involve isolating their market and release strategy to their domestic territory only which really has been limiting their cash flow, and they've lacked the revenues to remain a larger international multiplatform publisher. Sony came along to pick it up, they get to horde it. Frankly I wouldn't get this if it did come to Xbox One but I hope to god it takes Capcom out of its slump as I do like other things Capcom does... kind of, I mean people thought RE6 was shit I at least enjoyed it, RER2 though it utter trash and people pretentiously praise it. Sadly the only RE games I look forward to are the RE0 and RE2 HD remakes and fingers crossed RE4, RE5, RE6 get Xbox One BC, as well as their Dead Rising and Lost Planet games. But it really does all signal to me an end to their abilities.

I just hope another publisher is able to come along and rescue their Capcom Vancouver studio and the Dead Rising IP before they start laying off staff with all the knowhow of making awesome Dead Rising games. Right now all their doing is sentimentally reminiscing on their Twitter like they had a good run of it and they're all about to get fired.

I hope in the end though, Platinum Games with the backing or merger of another publisher to acquire Capcom's IPs and continue them under a different publisher. They were really the brains behind Capcom in their former glory, it can be that way again.

Hey cow, I just said it was a stupid comment. That obviously caused much butthurt but truth is truth. Get over it

I game on PC more so than my PS4 or X1 so I guess you could say I like gaming over 900p on EVERY game. Something you can't say cow.

ONOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ono he didn't

Guilty gear xrd not on xbox one,and the new DEAD OR ALIVE Volleyball haven't announce for Xbone yet.They both have a fanbase on 360.

I haven't heard any japanese games announced for Xbone for whole year, they can't be making special agreement with every single ***'s developer.

Or if they do,it's a doom to XBOX and Nintendo.

Neat story bro, I'm done with it.

Oh boy, neither.

Lol, and cows gotta buy an xbox one to play Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Both games will eventually be on both platforms in some form or another eg: Super Street Fighter 5

And the butthurt continues. I'm done with it as well.

Did you get that statistic from those hastag tumblr posts?

Anyways thats unfortunate but just like what I said about Tomb Raider, its fair game.
