    Virtua Fighter 5 coming to the 360 !

    http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=71275


    SEGA has revealed that Virtua Fighter 5 will be released on Xbox 360 after all, in late summer 2007.


    That gives it a bit of time on its own on PlayStation 3, for which it will be released on 20th February in North America and at PS3's March launch in Europe, but will certainly come as a relief to ardent fans of the game who didn't fancy the latter's price tag.


    "Those people lucky enough to have already played Virtua Fighter 5 [in the arcade] will know that it's laid the foundations to become the clear benchmark for fighting games on all next generation consoles," reckons SEGA's Matt Woodley.


    Expect more on this in the near future, with the game due out in both the US and Europe in late summer 2007.

        Fighting games to me are just a really dated genre that is past its peak. All they can really do at this point is make them look nicer. I can't get into them anymore. Soul Calibur for the DC was the last fighter I got into and if I get the urge, I'd rather play that than anything that came out since.

            If today's announcement by Sega that VF5 will come to 360 in the summer of 2007 doesn't convince you, nothing will. It's yet another shocker to the gaming public, but one that makes financial sense. With VF5 looming large with its early February release, one must wonder how financially sound that would be to release it on a console with a relatively small installed base. While Virtua Fighter has the power to sell systems in Japan, where the franchise is huge, to ignore the much larger installed base Microsoft has cultivated over the last year with its 360 would be grand folly. Now everyone wins.

            While the PS3 gets the small window of exclusivity, I know a lot of people who were on the fence about buying on just for this game (me included, I can't be stopped!) now have one less reason to wait in line for the console, knowing that not only will the game come to 360, but that the Virtua High Grade arcade-style sticks with wired USB cords will work with the Xbox. Now that this one's out of the way, what other seemingly PS3-exclusive mega-monster-title will find its way to Microsoft's resilient box? I'll let you figure that one out. But to all the people who confidently stated that "No way VF5 goes to 360," guess what? You get to take two steps back and eat a big "told you so."

              Good. VF deserves a large U.S. fanbase again. DOA fans might be scared off by the hardcore, deep engine Virtua Fighter uses, though.

                        I could ALMOST see myself buying a console for a few choice game, but I just cant see myself buying one for just one game, and especially when that console will cost me 600 bucks plus tax and then another 60 for the game.

                        Will probably wait for a price drop.

                        VF5 was the deal breaker. If i can save myself 600 bucks to play it on the 360 , then the ps3 would be too expensive of a choice to take.

                          I agree, people are quick to right off Sony's software. They have a solid lineup for 2007 and 2008 and a lot of that is 1st party stuff. I'm personally looking forward to Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, hopefully another TMB game from Incog.

                          So while 2006 looks like a coin flip at best March 2007 is when it will get interesting for the PS3.

                            I think the PS3 is a really nice system and I feel much easier turning the PS3 on than the 360 due to hardware issues. After losing VF5, which to me is another big blow, Sony better start doing something to tie up some franchises.

                              I think Sony is looking at their own franchises this gen and creating more IP's instead of focusing on 3rd party games. How ever it works out for them I do like Sony 1st party games. Hot Shot's Golf, Wipeout are still some of my favorites.

                              p.s. The PS3's hardware gives me more confidence every time I turn it on.
