Console war to be settled this week in Street Fighter IV

We're as tired as you are of getting missives from the front lines of the console wars, so we're relieved to hear that they'll finally be behind us after this week's Consumer Electronics Show. Capcom will settle the fight once and for all on Saturday in Las Vegas, pitting the best Microsoft rep against Sony's pick in a battle for Street Fighter IV supremacy. The loser has agreed to stop making their console forever and ever, so the stakes are pretty high.

... Yes, we made that last part up, but we're going to keep our fingers crossed.

I BLAME THE D-PAD!!! >=(

...errg it haven't started it? ooh carry on them.

I played SSFII Turbo HD Remix yesterday and instantly realized why it is pointless to put fighting games on the 360. Everyone knows it, but I'll say it again, the d-pad is wretched. I grew up on Street Fighter, I just wish I didn't spend 1200 points.

Nintendo got it right 24 years ago and everyone but Microsoft figured it out.

This is what patents can do.
Though I'm sure (or at least hope) that Microsoft can figure out a new dpad without awaking the patent trolls

There is literally nothing stopping Sony and Microsoft from licensing the D-pad from Nintendo, except for pride.

@rollinslmfao about time someone left a funny comment up in this bitch

And Sony's would draw on their saintly Japanese sense of honor and choose a 5 year old girl?

I'll get SF4 for whichever console wins this.

Sony and Microsoft will settle this this once and for all through Wii Boxing.

So what happens when you think your favorite Console rep wins(Nintendo, Sony, MS)? Only to rip open his/her company logo tee revealing a shirt that says...
