Poor Xbox owners, they are getting the major snub from Japanese publishers of late. Most recently was the announcement that Viewtiful Joe 2 would come for PS2 and GameCube. Note that the other major console, Xbox, was not mentioned in any announcement. To add salt to the wound, PS2 owners will also get a port of the original Joe. Xbox? Nada. We went straight to Capcom seeking an explanation as to why the company had seemed to have given up on Xbox. Why wouldn't there be Viewtiful Joe 2 on Xbox?
Capcom's official stance on VJ 2 was not one suggesting that there would never be a Joe on Microsoft's system. In fact, it was quite the opposite: "Currently development is focused on the PS2 and GameCube. However, we are evaluating the possibility of bringing this to the Xbox system."
That's not a yes, but that's not the "no" we were expecting. So it is possible that Viewtiful Joe 2 will make a showing on Xbox. As for future development of other games on Xbox, a Capcom representative said, "We are in the process of creating future Xbox titles, two of which will be released this fiscal year. We are looking to expand our product line-up to include more Xbox titles."
Dry those tears Xbox owner. Capcom doesn't hate you. We'll hopefully have more on these new titles in development at E3 next week.

I would be cool if they brought Viewtiful Joe to Xbox, or Capcom would make more games for Xbox, hopfully at least one of them happens, and one of the titles Capcom is making for Xbox is said to be Street Fighter Aniversity(sp?) should here more at E3, havent heard anything on the second one.
