Fighting Games

It was like that last generation too, and the one before it. I don't see how this is any different. My cousin had Halo on X-Box and that was a big deal to PS2 owning me. PS3 had Last of Us, God of War, Little Big Planet, etc. and that mattered to X-BOX 360 owning me. Why would things be any different now?

True but it's mainly because games like Tomb Raider and Street Fighter are, and always have been, multiplatform titles. The Last of Us, God of War, LBP are all made by Second Party Studios/games that Sony has personally funded from their studios they've made a deal with. It's like Final Fantasy going only to Wii U. Or Fifa only going to Xbox. There's no need to restrict well established open platform titles to a certain console that isn't funded or developed by a studio under the big 3. In the case of Halo, it was published and funded by Microsoft Studios but was developed by Bungie. At one point it was coming out to the DS(some trivia there).

SF IV is available on: Arcade, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, 3DS, PC and even iPhone.
Condensing it to two platforms is like:
Capcom: Yeah, we're willing to kill our last only financially stable franchise within our business that also only has an appeal to a very very hardcore audience that'll still be playing it 20 years from now. I honestly think Capcom just killed Street Fighter. Yeah I know, "hyperbole", but this is a failing business with a very tight but semi-niche/uncommon market. It's now the reason I'll play a PS4 because otherwise it should be on Xbox One. That being said I have a feeling it's going to coming out on Xbox eventually.
