FROM IGN:

Microsoft's Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has weighed in on Street Fighter V's PlayStation 4 and PC exclusivity.

"Business deals happen. We won't do all of them. When we have a first party franchise in a genre I'd rather invest in ours," Spencer said on Twitter, when asked what he thought of the announcement.

The first party fighting franchise Spencer speaks of is, of course, Killer Instinct -- which Microsoft acquired with the purchase of Rare back in 2002.

Following the premature release of the game's reveal trailer, Street Fighter V was confirmed to be exclusive to PlayStation 4 and PC by Capcom's Yoshinori Ono at PlayStation Experience. The game will feature cross-platform play, and according to Sony's Adam Boyes, "PS4 will be the only console this game ever appears on."

Regarding the next year for Xbox, Spencer said, "We have surprises, announces and great games shipping in 2015, we'll deliver on all three."

I'm kinda amped myself since that early footage already has interesting hints and slivers of change (seriously those models look better defined than the current ones), it also looks they might want to tweak their fighting formula a bit with some subtle power state changes, seems pretty good. The cross-platform play is going to be a great thing if they can pull it off, or a nightmare if they can't. My question though, where the hell is that Tekken x Street Fighter game we were promised post Street Fighter x Tekken? I guess the question is Bandai Namco than it is for Capcom...

Also, I must admit, I'm not the biggest fan of franchises that have been rooted in the gaming community as multi-platform games icing out one of their customer bases (also looking at you, Rise of the Tomb Raider)... even if it's a timed situation (which it probably is until they release a Super, Arcade, or Ultra Edition later on).
 
Funny how this is not as big a deal as Tomb Raiders Microsoft exclusivity. Then again MS did not want to help pay for production costs.

Until Super Street Fighter V comes out on XBOX.

Meh, I think it's in the same vein as Tomb Raider's exclusivity, but oh well...
