is there a possibility MK10 will be a PS4 exclusive?

The struggle is real.
XBOX ONE has there killer instinct and SONY needs a fighting game and ED BOON has been giving more to SONY in the past like extra characters and skins for mk and injustice. If MK10 is a PS4 exclusive that would suck. :(

I really doubt that. Even if Sony wanted an exclusive fighter so bad, they can just make some Battle Royale 2 or something. You know their fans would eat that shit right up. Also there's no chance Sony is buying NRS. Their company's nearing bankruptcy.

Guaranteed not to happen. Screencap this and relax.

Killer Instinct 1 and Killer Instinct 2 were both developed by Rare LtD which is now owned by Microsoft, while the new Killer Instinct was a joint developed game with Double Helix Games & Rare LtD making the game an Xbox exclusive. So whatever game Rare LtD is involved in making, it's always going to be an Xbox exclusive.

In addition, Ed Boon seemed frustrated by only being able to launch IGAU: Ultimate on the PS4 and not Xbox One too. Will Sony throw money at WB for exclusive content and a PSVita port? More than likely. But getting MK10 as an exclusive will require an awful lot of money to make up for the lost sales, and IMO going console exclusive would hurt the brand and piss off too many fans for it to be worthwhile.

The PS4 is getting it's fighting game, just not anytime soon. Guilty Gear XRD will be a PS3, PS4 exclusive when the console version is released in the states. That game looks absolutely amazing. I am sure Sony will have more than it's fair share of fighters, considering how popular fighting games are with Sony's fanbase.

As for MK10 being console exclusive, I doubt it, but of course anything is possible. One thing I am sure you can count on is the PS4 getting console exclusive in game content. WB will likely remember how Microsoft turned it's back on them when MK9 was released(no ads from Microsoft about the game leading up to the release, no permission to use one of their characters) and how Microsoft turned it's back on Injustice to keep the focus on their game, Killer Instinct.

It actually terrifies me to think of MK10 as a console exclusive after seeing how things turned out for KI. KI would be so much more popular and widely played had it been multiplatform and a finished product. While MK10 would be HUGE on Ps4, more than enough to satisfy the pockets of WB and NRS....it would never reach the heights that it would if/when it's made multiplatform. I want the best for MK, so even though I already have a PS4 and do not plan on getting an XBone in the next few years, I want everyone who wants to get into MK to be able to.

Pretty unlikely, but not impossible.

This is the period in a consoles life were exclusives matter the most, and Sony and WB have a pretty tight relationship.
MK10 won't exactly be a system seller, but it would help round out the PS4 line up and be a pretty good get for Sony.

But still, AAA console exclusives are pretty rare in this day and age, so I'm not betting on it.
