Taken from Xbox-Scene.com:


In another creative coup for its next generation Xbox platform, Microsoft today announced that esteemed videogame developers Yoshiki Okamoto, President & CEO of Game Republic, Inc., and Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Creator and Co-founder, Q Entertainment Inc. have aligned with Microsoft Game Studios to develop exclusive next-generation Xbox games. The announcement comes on the heels of last week's news that video game legend Hironobu Sakaguchi, president of Mistwalker game studio, has joined with Microsoft Game Studios to develop role-playing games exclusively for the next-generation Xbox platform.

For more than 20 years, Okamoto has been thrilling gamers with franchises like Street Fighter and Resident Evil.
Mizuguchi is the creative force behind a litany of innovative blockbusters including SEGA Rally Championship, Rez and Space Channel 5.


Yoshiki Okamoto is the original Street Fighter II producer!! Hopefully this will continue the Xbox's great run of fighting games into the next generation!!

What exactly makes you think that this means there's going to be fighters made by the guy on the Xbox2? Sure, it's nice to be optimistic about such things, but has the guy even produced a fighter since SF2? Any reason to believe he suddenly would decide to? He's just a producer, not a developer or designer.

I never implied that. I said, "Hopefully this will continue the Xbox's great run of fighting games into the next generation!!" I wasn't creating false hope, just stating a fact.

Regardless, the fact that Microsoft hired Yoshiki Okamoto at least allows for a possibility that he could develop a new fighter for the next Xbox console. That's more than there was before Microsoft hired him.
