Ace Attorney Investigations kinda puts a wrench into all the theories of "Sale/Popularity".
The most likely outcome is that they did NOT wanna fuck with a Network Engineer for Online Play on Xbox.
As that was likely why Mega Man Battle Network skipped Xbox as well

Money is generally the reason stuff doesn't get ported. Maybe the license cost isn't worth it.

a PS5 version would offer nothing but an extra SKU for them to publish (and spend $$ on).
It may also be related in some ways to the Spider-Man licensing.
I do wonder if the Xbox is a mistake. Very weird.
Capcom was cooking in this era.
Always has been. It's one of my favorite Capcom key art, starting with COTA.

Japanese and English versions confirmed on the website - does that mean we get Norimaro in MSHvSF?!
Also cool to see that they've updated the games (less flicker in MVC1, Cyber-Akuma playable in MSHvSF).
Actually, the reasoning might be what I saw in another thread.
MT Framework Xbox One Engine is no longer being worked on. However, it's still supported for PS4/Switch/PC
So by proxy, there's no Xbox version. Same as to why there's no PS5 version of MT Framework games.
Great Ace Attorney was MT but everything after is RE Engine now I think? Would explain why Xbox got Ace Attorney games but no Mega Man as well

I would say so also except…you gotta license Mahvel 2 anyway. Unless there's other third party assets (maybe the songs are owned by their creator) I don't see why that would be extra prohibitively restrictive.
Probably, still terrible for that userbase as it seems like something that should be simple to port.
Will pick up on PS5
I can think of a couple practical reasons an Xbox version might not arrive (though not very good ones), but I'll be real grumpy if the reason ends up being some nonsense anti-competitive licensing thing from Sony's hold on the Spiderman character.
Any reasonable explanation should be easy to share, but if they're evasive about this, it'll be hard not to assume the worst.
OOOoooooh, this makes a ton of sense.

That came out in 2017 though, no need to remake something so relatively new, especially when the fans are already doing a great job at that.
Better hope for MvC5
Does X-Men CotA relate to Sony's X-men exclusivity deal in any way? Maybe they worked something out with Sony and they blocked Xbox.
these are like 20 year old games. They would find a way to get them on any platform they could if they thought there was an audience for it. Most likely these kinds of collections (Capcom has released a good amount of them) didn't perform well on Xbox and they decided whatever costs go into the licensing and publishing were not worth the effort to put this on Xbox.

Yup. JP Saturn Box art is legit probably a top 3 box art of me of ALL TIME. These games are 100% the thing that got me to get a Saturn. Cause I legit thought that was the only way I'd ever get to play them again.
I need to see if I still have my PS2 version of MvC2 buried somewhere.
But seriously getting physical for this collection! No more being locked behind the 1UP cabinets!

New players and most of all, young players will need this mode, many people will be jumping in for the first time
I think he means native PS5 version.
For these old games, I don't think it matters. But who knows, Breakers Revenge collection had a PS5 native version along with the PS4 version, and that game is old, haha.
This is dream come true. MvC2 is my favorite fighting game of all time. I had ways to play this before (both PS3 and 360, emulation) but I'm very glad to have an official port.
No, Spider-man can appear in collections on other plaforms, just so long as those collections also come out on playstation.
Its got nothing to do with that, it is either code or belief in lack of sales.
Perhaps, but it makes a lot of sense as all of the "Xbox" skips are always MT Framework titles now (With no PS5 version either). Regardless of what they are.
Don't think we've seen anything skip that has been on RE Engine aside from Shin Sesekai and that was PC/Switch only (Even Ghost n' Goblins came to Xbox and that probably sold a handful of copies lol)
There was a fighting collection that also came to Xbox, so my guess is that must have sold like poo
Do you have a source for that? I was under the impression Sony had no control over the character in other games but I honestly haven't found any evidence to it.
