The latest rumour to swirl around the ankles of the gaming giant that will be Street Fighter IV is that it will not only be PS3-exclusive but that its release date will clash with PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid IV. SPOnG's here to crush it.

It is being suggested that Street Fighter IV will be released on June 12th, the launch date that has just been announced for Konami's stealthy shooter. It will also, like MGS4, be PS3 exclusive according to speculation. The rumour has done the rounds of a couple of French sites. Jeuxvideo.fr tells us, "We have just noticed that the editor just listed Street Fighter IV on the platform dedicated to the European press. One of the details is that the title is only announced on PS3, for the 12 June 2008."

Alas, while SPOnG would love to be able to tell you the game will be with us that soon, Capcom dismissed the rumour when we spoke to a representative. "We haven't even announced any home console versions for the game yet", SPOnG was told.

While Jeuxvideo has a screen grab confirming that the information did at one point appear on that site, it has since been taken down. It looks like a simple error to SPOnG. Sorry guys...

To get your Street Fighter IV fix for the time being, SPOnG suggests checking out the latest screens and video.

I'm more worried about the head-crushing builder's arms there.

Capcom has already confirmed that this game is Japanese Arcade only apparently so not for consoles and here I was in excitement waiting it to be released for the Xbox 360...

If it comes to consoles it wont be PS3 exclusive, Capcom already announced ages ago no more console exclusivity and it makes sense considering that more money can be made from multi platform this gen.

Even if it was true I couldn't see it making much (if any) of an impact, if anything SFIV wouldn't get a second look (unless you bought both)
