Capcom Blames Resource Constraints for PS3 No-Show

Why aren't PS3 owners privy to the Street Fighter II Remix beta test like Xbox 360 owners? Time, money, and convenience, says Capcom.
"In my ideal world of worlds, we would have done a beta on each," said Capcom vice president Christian Svensson, in response to news last Thursday that only Xbox 360 owners could preview the upcoming Street Fighter II remake.
"That said, the effort and time (not to mention money) that would have taken probably would have pushed the project back another few months," he said. "Even if it were possible for Sony to do, it would require 3 submissions (US, Europe, Asia/Japan) to reach the same global audience we can with MS in a single test and global submission."
Svensson went on to say in the official forum post that Capcom "treats the PS3 extremely seriously," being the only third-party publisher doing simultaneous releases on both Xbox 360 and PS3. Furthermore, he assured PS3 owners that Xbox 360 testing will only improve the PS3 network experience upon the game's final release.
