Will you play VF5FS on PSN or XBL?

    After following this:

    8Way Run's PSN vs XBL Discussion

    I wonder how its gonna go for VF5FS.

    This is like the second time I've heard the XBL has more fighting game players but PSN has the big name players.

    Does anyone know whether the big names in the VF International community Frequent VF on XBL?

    Is it more likely that big name players will be on PSN playing VF5FS or XBL (that is if the big name players get online at all)?

    Big name players you know who you are, please feel free to commit.

    Or does it matter, will things be split down the line relatively equally?

    Will the availability of sticks make the difference?

    Big name players play in japanese arcades til now.
    Since ver.C is on 360 everybody online plays xbl til now
    Some people on this site have xbl n psn, some will double dip.
    If FS sells good there will be a lot of good players online on both consoles...
    online sucks
    Maybe VF will be back at EVO and stuff like that

    The big names? I'm assuming you mean outside of Japan. I don't think top Japanese player really bother with console versions of anything and i can't see why FS will be any different.

    I'll be playing on both. Dunno about everyone else, but i assume most fans of the game will attempt to do the same if possible. More competition and boosts the sales figures of the game. If it was a disk release i'd probably buy even more copies.

    edit to say: Things like sticks are equally available on both consoles. Xbl may have a bit of a push as people are already used to playing VF online that way and it's become the standard for VF5 due to it being a more recent version. Not gonna stop me from jumping on PSN and duffing up people there though.

    Both. Theres a quadra stick that can do both xbox ps3. Ill get that as well.. As my 7th stick(within 3 yrs) anyone know if qquadra feels as smooth as the madcatz one? I hate the hori feel, i prefer madcats feel. I dont really plan on playing any other games so sega can have my soul and my money. :) but i plan to be on xbox more, better netcode i would think.

    I'll definitely be on both to support Sega and to play as many different people as possible. I just hope one version isn't considered worst then the other, cause then I'd probably end up just playing the best version mostly. But it's going to be funny having both systems on and seeing who's playing and switching between the two constantly. Man I can't wait.

    Both versions are exactly the same. I've played both. There aren't even subtle differences, like in lighting and stuff. Anyone who says otherwise is probably just a fanboy.

    I support VF players, either way. I only have a 360, so... y'know. Yee!

    X360 here. With it being the end of this console generation I doubt I'll get a ps3. Didn't bother getting one earlier since VF5:Online was on 360.

    Day 1 Xbox360 for me and willing to download PS3 version as long as good reputation. I'm glad FS is a DLC so I don't need to fix my BD-ROM to play physical copy.

    There is a filter function on FS, so I doubt those Big name players would accept oversea connection out side of JP instead of their local competitions.

    Both for me. I will support SEGA. Plus, with both, I have two systems to contribute to the SoCal Unlagged events.

    The only possible difference between the two versions is netcode, and PSN/XBL netcode differences are way overblown (in other fighters) as long as both players are on wired. PSN has more wireless users.

    Saw both versions of FS side by side at FR, no difference.

    I'm thinking about getting a PS3 for this and not renewing my Xbox Live late next year unless more Treasure goodness drops as XBLA exlusive.

    Thought this thread already existed?

    I get the impression that fighting games are more popular on the 360 and since we've been playing VF5 online for the last 4 years on it then I guess we'll find most of the players on 360.

    I'll pick up both just to play with the PS3 only players on here.

    Depends on the game, Feck. Some have more on PSN, some on xbl.
