This means on the PlayStation platform will be getting exclusive characters, like inFamous’ Cole. Producer Yoshinori Ono had high hopes for getting ”Master Chief or Marcus Fenix”.
The Xbox 360 version is a victim of corporate types dragging their feet, sadly. It appears to be far too late now for the developer to do anything so Xbox 360 gets vanilla flavour.
“Basically for the Xbox 360, we were in discussions with them for which character to put in as an exclusive, but we weren’t able to decide on a character because of differences in timing and things like that,” explained Yoshinori Ono.
”So unfortunately for Street Fighter X Tekken, only the PlayStation family will be getting the exclusive characters, but it’s something we wish could have happened. It’s just too bad, basically.”

“In terms of characters we wish we could have put in the game, Master Chief or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War would have been really cool, but it was just really difficult,” he said. “That’s just the way it turned out.”
Street Fighter x Tekken releases on Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita and PC in early March.
