Street Fighter 5 introduces console exclusive branding

Loser buys a Wii U!

They did it for SW.

Bottom right corner, on the back next to the UPC code it has the Microsoft logo on it as publisher.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah fair enough, anyway think I'm done here xP

Sorry for giving false info like that, have a good day.

You don't seem to know what you're talking about here. There are no "lies" to be seen. Your whole post is is more a lie than anything being discussed in this thread since it's a lie to say that what was shown on that cover is a lie.

Definitely do not see any mention of "Xbox Exclusive" on the copy I have at home. @davem1992 You should put your bias aside and play the game, it's probably the best game on the X1 right now, no excuses.

I have it pre-ordered on Steam

Best game I have played this gen. It's just awesome.

Sony are so obessed with the word exlusive

Any PC gamer that wants this game would know it is available to them. This is nothing.

Rise of the Timed Raider is a fake exclusive since it was announced. Why is it even being mentioned in this thread?

@Legend002: something about Xbox exclusive on the box art or the lack there of

You mean just like M$?? Rise of the tomb raider? titanfall?

Salty or not, the term "console exclusive" is deceptive.

No such thing as a console exclusive.

Exclusive means that it's not on another system. By using the word console exclusive, Sony is avoiding outright saying it is exclusive to PS4 but is still trying to creative the impression that it's exclusive when it's not.

If you can't see that, I think you should take some rhetoric courses.

Huh? Fooling idiots is like the key to smart marketing.

Lems are so mad right now. Sony should have just put not on xbone on the box lol.

Not why would that be on the box if it's not exclusive?

This is exactly what's happening.

It's sad that people are such apologists on this forum that they put on their critical thinking caps and see this.

Nope. It's not a relative term. It's only relative because fanboys of all stripes want it to be relative.

This is the definition: "restricted or limited to the person, group, or area concerned."

If a game not limited or restricted to a certain console, it's not an exclusive. Street Fighter V is not restricted or limited to PS4 if you can get it on PC.

There is no reason to restrict PC from the discussion to talk about exclusivity unless you're in Sony's marketing team and you want to make a non-exclusive look like an exclusive.

@GreySeal9: not to mention the definitive version will still be on the Microsoft platform.

That would be far more honest than "console exclusive."

PC isn't a console so it actually is honest.

Yeah but MS get no money for it so it hardly matters

What he's saying is that it's a form of dishonesty. Equivocation or fudging of terms is just as much an act of dishonesty as an outright lie.

No, it's not.

"Console exclusive" is a made up term used to hide the fact that the game is not actually exclusive. The use of the term "console exclusive" is itself an act of dishonesty. It's just as dishonest now as it was when lems were trying to pass off multiplats as exclusives last gen.

What other console is SFV on? You're so salty over this lol.

There's no such thing as a console exclusive. Something is either exclusive or it isn't. SFV is a multiplat.

Using the word salty will not change that.

You're delusional. Console exclusive makes perfect sense. Only sad lems like you get so butthurt over it. M$ has lived off console exclusives since the inception of the Xbox brand and now that Sony is giving them a taste of their own medicine you can't handle it.

Its a relative term,

1. excluding or not admitting other things."my exclusive focus is on San Antonio issues"
2. restricted or limited to the person, group, or area concerned."the couple had exclusive possession of the condo"

Both of these are relative if your comparing consoles. Otherwise the definition you listed would make every game exclusive in some way. Fallout 4 is exclusive because it is restricted to the a group of systems that contains xbox/ps4/PC.

or

noun. an item or story published or broadcast by only one source.

This is a bit closer to the way system wars tries to use it. But again every game could be considered exclusive unless it had multiple publishers... Its ambiguity is still pretty bad depending on the definition. There's even a difference calling it an exclusive vs is exclusive. The easiest way to understand it is the first defintion, the game has excluded some series of consoles from a particular selection of all consoles.

The point is exclusive can many different things depending on context its being used in... I think I meant contextual term.

Doesn't make sense to call me delusional when you are championing a fake term.

Again:

Exclusive means: "restricted or limited to the person, group, or area concerned."

Multi-plat means: "on more than one platform."

Street Fighter V is a multiplat.

This is not a difficult concept.

Disclaimer: I deleted all the "you're a lem" nonsense. Not relevant.

The area/group is console as stated by the term console exclusive. You're reaching too hard to hate on Sony here man.

its not a difficult concept that multiplat and exclusive aren't contridicting each other in that scenario. "restricted or limited to the person, group, or area concerned.".

Both deal in terms of more than one. So lets say we have 3 systems... if 2 out of 3 have a game, that game is both exclusive and multiplat.

No way to defend this. Console exclusive implies that the game is exclusive to a console/ps4, when in fact it can be played on another platform. Very misleading and anti consumer of Sony, as always.

You're making this way more convoluted than it needs to be. "Restricted or limited to the person, group, area," means that it's restricted to one platform. You could say "you're exclusively talking about consoles," but that doesn't make the game exclusive; it just means that you have an exclusive focus on consoles.

You say that both of these are relative IF you're comparing consoles. But the whole reason behind leaving one of the platforms out of the discussion is to make one's options seem more limited than they are. There is a reason why the term "console exclusive" is used my marketing teams and fanboys. It creates a perception that doesn't actually exist.

There's a few more than two of you.

"Restricted or limited to the person, group, area,"

On or more

Basically that means the same as, its excluded one or more platforms

Its straightforward actually.. out of all the consoles PS4 is the only console getting it while PC is not a console so its a console exclusive heck its right there on the boxart something capcom done it themselves (pretty sure the design has more to do with capcom than sony)

its not rocket science or misleading its straightforward

Yes but I rarely ever run into other Scottish people online so it shocks me when I do

@davem1992: but they do. Windows royalties for products sold on the Windows platform. Just like with Xbox. It's the Microsoft ISV.

There's at least half a dozen of us in Systems Wars :)

Of course they contradict each other. If you wanted to use the word group to mean "consoles," you would be arguing that that game is exclusive to consoles, but it's not. That definition means it's exclusive TO a group, not that you're exclusively considering a group (i.e. consoles). PS4 is not a group. PC is not a group. Consoles are a group. Yet we know that it is not exclusive to consoles. In fact, one of the consoles doesn't have the game.

If 2 out of 3 system's have a game, it cannot be exclusive because it's not exclusively on any one of those systems.

If the area or group, per that definition, was consoles, then you couldn't say that Street Fighter is exclusive to the group consoles. That definition is not talking about what is exclusively under considerations. It talking about what is exclusive.

You're reach way too hard to apologize for them.

And I'm not even hating on them. It's just usual marketing bullshit that all companies do.

@GreySeal9: PC is not a console. Take your L and move on. Your damage control is just getting embarrassing now.

consoles is a way to group certain systems, another type of group is a set list, {xbox,ps4,wii u} <- group. There's also more than one way to make to consider how exclusive is being used here. They don't contradict each other. In fact Sony is implying out of the consoles its only on their console, excluding all other consoles but not all other systems systems. In the the group of consoles, its an exclusive for ps4, and also on PC.

Is the English language fun!

This springs to mind

The average Joe will see "console exclusive" and a big PS4 logo close to it and assume its the only way to play the game. It's very misleading and implies its exclusive, which it is not. No matter what I say you will defend Sony to death, so it really doesn't matter.
