Agreed. I don't class it as a next-gen console, as it uses last-gen hardware with motion sensing in it. It can't even play DVDs!
Unless you are Akuma.
Errr... THis isn't the early 90's you know!
SFIV is a welcomed title for the PC platform!!!

It's still a hell of a random one, though, Fighting games rarely ever make it to the PC. In fact, I can't think of any since SFII.
Welcome addition none the less, though!
Is there an ETA for it?

That is because it's hard to get two pads working in Windows. It's also only going to work if the game runs at a high, fluid framerate as this sort of game is VERY animation dependant.

The Arcade unit the game runs in is an XP-based computer with fairly modest specs, so I think it'll run fine.
Plus, XInput makes having multiple pads working on PC's a fair bit easier, but if that's enough to grant this some great sales remains to be seen.
