The official East Coast Throwdown 5 Facebook page recently dropped a bit of information on the games being played at the event. Due to popular demand, numerous games will now be played on Xbox 360 instead of PlayStation 3 like originally planned.
Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken and Injustice: Gods Among Us will all now be run on Microsoft's console. The change was made because of the many complaints that have been floating around about the PlayStation 3's tendency to lag during matches.
Below are the status updates from East Coast Throwdown's Facebook page that confirm the change.
Due to popular demand, SF4, UMvC3, and SFxT will all be run on Xbox 360 at #ect5. Sorry for the delay on the announcement, we had to make sure we'd have enough equipment to do it before committing!
CapcomFightersTV have uploaded some great off-stream matches of Street Fighter X Tekken v2013 from NorCal Regionals. This set of videos feature EG|Momochi, AGE|Wolfkrone, EG|PR Balrog, DM|Xian, LU|Alex Valle, Mike Ross, Kelvin Jeon and more.

Capcom will likely be shying away from doing what they termed as 'straight ports' of fighting games in the future, Christian Svensson said on the official Capcom forums. He noted that feedback from their December digital survey, plus a recent trend in sales, has shown them that fans don't want just 'straight ports' of their titles, like how Darkstalkers Resurrection and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, among others, turned out.
Subjects covered also include updates of digital versions of their fighters on PSN, including Capcom vs. SNK 2, PC sales numbers and if Tatsunoko vs. Capcom will see an e-Shop release. Hit the jump to read everything.
R.Case: I heard that you are going to slow down on making HD ports of fighting games, so does that mean you might try and look into doing HD ports of other genres and franchises?
Svensson: I'd think "straight ports" we'll see less of in the digital space in the future. That was one of the key points we took away in the verbatims of the digital survey we did in December (and what our recent sales trends are telling us too).
Beyond that, I'm not prepared to provide additional details at this time.

In regards to the slowing sales of newer fighting game rereleases and ports from Capcom, one user at Capcom-Unity suggested that they try releasing the games to more platforms, instead of just the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Christian Svensson replied to this post, and gave insight as to why Capcom is not interested in releasing their titles, like Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Online Edition and Darkstalkers Resurrection for PC or other potential platforms.
I have considered it but there's considerable overlap in platform ownership such that the effort to revisit work as a rerelease is not likely to cover the costs of development.
In general, staggered releases that can't get some critical mass of marketing behind them do not work.
Hit the jump to hear the reasoning behind pros getting early copies of the games.
