Capcom has confirmed that it will not be including platform specific characters in the forthcoming home console release of Street Fighter IV.
Word comes from an interview with Yoshinori Ono over at Videogamer.com, where the Street Fighter IV Producer made clear his views on platform exclusive content, revealing that he doesn't consider it to be "fair."
“Well this is just my policy, but I don't want to give an exclusive character for any particular console. And that applies to downloadable characters as well. Because it's not very fair, when you think about this as a board game or a tool. Hidden characters? If we're going to talk about hidden characters they won't be hidden any more!” said Ono.
Street Fighter 4 is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2009.

@ BabeBro
Yes it is a type of sexuality...technically. In the general straight society (aka earth) being gay is a bad thing (..couldn't agree more), so when someone says something is "gay"...they mean "bad" (more so in the worst way possible). All in all its just EFFORTLESS8's opinion (since weapons are a big part of all combat).....I was just trying to clear things up a bit for you.

@Tekkenlord
I heard Fei Long is in the game.
And i'm glad to hear there are no exlusive characters.
