They've said before it's not easy to design and test SFIV PC to work on all the different kinds of PC setups that exist out there and you have to try get it work on as low-end a PC as you can as well as making it capable of maximizing the potential power of a high-end PC.
The brunt of that testing should already be done with SF4, seeing how SSF4 is going to use the same engine.
the only way I could see them coming out at the same time was if the game designed for PC first and then streamlined for consoles after
Actually, that's how most of Capcom's multiplatform games are made nowadays (including SF4). And again, I seriously doubt that'd be a major concern when you're building on an existing engine.
seemsl ike everyone is getting off topic here....this msg is to the original OP....I am a long time SF fan and I could not be more happy.....new characters and lots and lots of new stuff...if giving us a new cd the only way they could have achieved this well then so be it ....I could care less honestly.....Ill spend the money....if you are not intersted I guess don't get it....but come on its SF?

I am unconvinced on this one, It's speculation but I feel comfortable arguing from the stand point that it's not a new engine. The PC development had overlap with SSFIV and these type of porting issues would of been tackled then.
And regarding piracy, I say this as a Swede and firm believer in the free exchange of information (aka piracy for those countrys with copyright)..
This game is not pirate friendly. If you care enough about SF to download it you will require online play.
It's the same reason MMO's are not often pirated.
The real piracy concern should be if the PC version is neglected and modders take it upon themselves to support the game.
I will only fill ripeed if the pc Version again needs 6 Months seriously capcom ur aren´t porting a RPG like oblivion it should be done faster.
Considering SFIV PC release and SSFIV production overlaped and they just finished porting a Microsoft game to a Microsoft OS there is no logical reason for complications with a PC port.
I am angered by delayed PC release and worried about no release at all.
Not all do it, but it is a problem nonetheless
You know how EASY it is to just torrent games lol. Seriously
Yes yes, you won't get to play online in most cases, but it's a problem nonetheless
That and the fact that people start modding everything
This is NOT what all PC gamers do, but a large enough number of them steal/mod these company's games. Remember this is THEIR game, they're taking the safest route, which is console gaming.
Enjoy SFIV 'till PC release way later
Modding games is one of the best thing thats how the legendary Counter Strike got created. They before any console could offer anything. And dont start with the stealing argument on pirate bay one of the most dl things are xbox360 games too.
