Really??! So you can't use Move with the other versions? :o Lol! Seriously though, this sucks. I still can't believe Sega is even releasing games on Sony (or Nintendo) consoles. :( At least with Microsoft they had already been partners with previously so at the very least the Xbox 360 should get versions of any games Sega release, along with any exclusive content.

Of course in this day and age coming from a 3rd party publisher, none of that makes any sense, as the real money is in being as "system agnostic" as possible with releases; and/or getting paid to bring exclusives to one console or the other. This goes double for content exclusivities.
The thing that strikes me as odd concerning the VT4 announcement, is that it is not a high profile game enough for Sony to actually pay SEGA to get exclusive content for - sorry, those are just the breaks, VT fans. Move support on a tennis games makes a lot of sense. And sense Move does not work on any other platform . . . But all the other stuff? Seeing as VT4 is not that high profile of a game for Sony to pay for exclusive content, that's just SEGA doing what they have been famous for for almost two decades - making bad management decisions.
Sorry that angers you, but welcome to the world of being a SEGA fan. If the company is not doing something to disappoint fans, then it is usually doing something to crush the spirits of it's fans. The reason I stopped giving a fuck about SEGA after the Sammy buyout. Better to be a Nintendo fan, at least once every generation, Nintendo delivers to its fans in spades. Better to be a Sony fan, as even though those guys are arrogant clusterfucks, at least they can learn from their mistakes . . . if they make it and are ridiculed for it enough times. Better to be a Microsoft fan, as they know how to deliver the goods to you so well, as you usually wind up forgiving them for the few mistakes they make. But being a SEGA fan is the biggest waste of time, energy and emotion on the planet. They will hurt you, they will disappoint you, and either won't give a shit that they are, and are too damned, fucking stupid to realize they are hurting their own business by shitting on their fans constantly for over a decade. Quite frankly, you are better off quitting gaming altogether and committing to a far more productive hobby, than being a SEGA fan.
Consider yourself warned.

As for the reason Yakuza series is not on your beloved console has nothing to do with an exclusive deal, it has more to do with the type of game it is, where the main characters and the MAJORITY of the characters are Ethnicly different, basically Japanese that DO NOT LOOK like WHITE people and therefore would be a hard sell outside of Japan where in both Europe and mainly the USA the majority of characters and culture is of a White male or US demographic.
Its no surprise that even the Shenmue 2 exclusive to Xbox 1 failed to sell due to this and there is no point in beating a dead horse.
The other is that Yakuza is not a mass murder simulator like GTA basically in the US such a game will get unfairly compared to GTA just like Shenmue 1 was and people in the US kept pointing out how they thought it was much more fun to kill bystanders than to be limited to not being able to do that which Japanese devs pointed out that such an act would have concequences such as getting arrested, life in Jail, investigations etc
Just look at LA Noire, the game has ALOT of Shenmue/Yakuza elements in the gameplay however in that game you investigate grusome murders in scenes filled with too much blood and graphic detail something US gamers like you will go gaga for much like Mortal Kombat.
