So does Capcom have the resources for a next-gen fighter or not

By

Towards the beginning of October, Capcom made is known that they simply didn’t have the resources to bring Ultra Street Fighter IV to any of the next-generation consoles. This was confirmed by Yoshinori Ono via twitter.

However fast-forward to today and Yoshi has changed his tune and is now stating that Capcom is looking for a game designer and programmer for a new fighter which may or may not be for a next-gen console but none the less, they are looking to produce a new fighter game.

So Ono, which is it? Are you or are you not in the process of developing a new fighting game or possibly porting over Ultra Street Fighter IV?
