Most exciting thing about CES wasn't the games on show. Wasn't the TVs, wasn't the phones, wasn't even the virtual sex...thing. No, it was the epic Microsoft v Sony v Capcom Street Fighter IV battle!

Well, the dust has settled on the fanboy apocalypse, and a clear winner has emerged. And that winner is...

Capcom! But that doesn't count. Capcom's rep, Justin Wong, was a pro. Boo! To decide who would face Capcom's ringer, it was Sony v Microsoft, and that's far more interesting.

The winner of that tussle was Sony, who beat Microsoft in the decider. Congratulations! Sony's champion - Joe C, who used Sagat - scored himself a PSP. Those associated with the winner and the platform he championed? For a day or two, they score internet bragging rights.

It's like something out of a fanboy fantasy land. At next year's CES, there will be a Street Fighter IV tournament. In which Capcom, Microsoft and Sony will select champions, then do battle.

For real. They will fight, you will take sides, shit will get real.

Each publisher's community leader - Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb for Microsoft, Jeff Rubenstein for Sony and Seth Killian for Capcom - will be there, and they'll be leading teams of 20 (with contestants drawn from people like you) in a three-way festival of dick-swinging, name-taking and all around shit-talkery.

CES is due to take place January 8-11 in Vegas. Further details on how you sign up for this apocalyptic event to come.
