Today Capcom formally announced the console release of Street Fighter IV for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. While they didn’t give a date, the announcement does confirm something we’ve always known, that you can’t release a game in arcades and expect to make any money. How on earth are you going to get nostalgia players (your only real audience for SF IV) to give you their money if you don’t release the game on a medium they actually use. You’re about as likely to see me in an arcade as you are to see Oprah maintain her weight.

Also of note in the announcement is that there are currently no plans for a Wii version. Just further proof that the Wii isn’t for video games, but rather for random weight loss simulators and pretend sports games. If you want to bash heads with Ken and Ryu, you’re going to need a real system.
