The PlayStation 3 has suffered yet another blow as Sega has announced that the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5 will feature online play, in addition to the other Xbox-specific staples such as Achievements and leaderboards.
"For a lot of very good reasons, Virtua Fighter 5 is regarded as the deepest and most revered fighting game available on next generation consoles", said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe. "Bringing Virtua Fighter 5 to the Xbox 360 will not only capture an entirely new audience, but will allow gamers to show their Virtua Fighter skills online against friends and foes".
So much for "It can't be done!" when it comes to online play. It could be that the announced live online play for Soul Calibur 4 might have spurred it on.
