faces, and especially BLIG MERK ... haha
VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 on XBOX 360.
Although the Xbox 360 has a far different GPU than the one in the
Lindbergh arcade hardware that runs VF5, the Xbox 360 can handle 4x
anti-aliasing while NOT losing precious pixel fillrate or bandwidth
like the PS3's Nvidia RSX GPU does.
even though RSX (custom crippled NV47) is closer in architecture to
the GF 6800 (NV40), the Xbox360 is probably a better platform for VF5
because Xbox 360 has more fillrate than PS3 when anti-aliasing is used.
anyway onto the press releases / news. ITS NOT A RUMOR ANYMORE.

Xbox 360 Gets Virtua Fighter 5
EGA stunner goes multiplatform in 2007.
by Justin Keeling and Doug Perry, IGN UK
UK, December 21, 2006 - In a move bound to get certain fists pumping in
the hardcore gaming fraternity, SEGA today announced that its much
hyped PlayStation 3 exclusive Virtua Fighter 5 officially will come to
Xbox 360 in late summer 2007.
The last game in the Virtua Fighter series was a PS2 exclusive, which
sold exceptionally well on Sony's system. Virtua Figher 5 had been
hyped for some time as a killer PS3 exclusive for fighting fans, but --
following in the footsteps of Assassin's Creed and GTA IV -- will also
go multi-platform.
The PS3 version still retains some level of exclusivity, with a US
release on February 20 and with the console's launch in Europe. The
Xbox 360 version will ship in late summer 2007, according to SEGA.
Virtua Fighter 5 offers worldwide fighting stages in which as many as
17 contestants vie, including two new characters, El Blaze, a wrestler
somewhat like Wolf, and Eileen, who employs a Chinese Monkey Kung-Fu
fighting style. SEGA also has implemented a new "offensive move"
enabling players to take down opponents from different angles; these
moves are believed to set VF5 apart from past VF games. Like in Virtua
Fighter 4: Evolution, players can customize their characters. They can
pick from four base costumes in the beginning, and then choose from a
wide spectrum of unlockable accessories items as they progress. By
winning more tournaments, players not only earn costumes and
accessories, they receieve prizes and in-game money for browsing in the
in-game shop.
"SEGA delivers the most technical fighting game experience on Xbox 360
with this installment of the award-winning Virtua Fighter series," said
Scott A. Steinberg, vice president marketing, SEGA of America. "Virtua
