The rl info is old news.

And a bad guy to a minority on forums? 

That's like saying to shop at best buy, you need a targets card. To buy at amazon you need to first get a power up card from gamestop.

It is just another of MS desperate tactics.

IF Sony was doing this and MS was refusing people would be looking at Sony as bullying MS.

That said - you can't say either side is the "bad guy" since they have both done this. I mean FF14 is STILL not on xbox one.

They can already through co-op remote play. If you have a laptop or pc you can remote play your niece's ps4 while she can join co-op on her end with another account. That is, if your niece trusts you enough with her psn login ;)

They'll be playing in split-screen though (yet useful to see where the other one is), the remote player has to be the one with the psn login (and owner of minecraft if it's a digital version), while the player on the actual ps4 has to be someone else. Plus you'll need to use a good old phone, skype or equivalent to be able to hear eachother. If you really want to, it's possible. There are (non official) solutions to stream your pc to the xbox one as well, so you could even remote play your niece's ps4 from your xbox one.

XBox One has game streaming as well, so the reverse is probably possible too, however I don't know how xbox one handles local co-op during game streaming. ps4 simply connects the rest of the controllers straight to the console and the rest of the players have to play on the console.

nah, the majority of gamers would need to care and alas, where are they?

And please, Sony has has cross platform play between their own devices and PC since the PS3 days, and still continue to do so.

And lets not forget it wasnt too long ago when MS had a no crossplay policy in effect too. Just because they are falling behind they are pushing for it as it makes the PS4 less lucrative to buy if you dont need one for multiplay games (of which MS marketing pull for zero MP focussed titles).  Lets not act like MS is doing this solely for gamers. They are also doing it for their own financial and competetive benefit. 

Most probably the main reason is that Notch sold Mojang to MS after having stricken a deal with Sony for Minecraft ports to its platforms, so it wasn't possible anymore to make Minecraft totally exclusive, as such deals are binding even if one of the companies changes owner. You can tell quite a strong deal exists from the fact that the publisher of Minecraft on Sony platforms is  neither Mojang nor Microsoft, but Sony itself.

Well, I'm sure they are there. I have heard some people were upset about this from videos talking about the subject and the opinion on this has been negative overall. When I heard about cross play, I thought it was a cool idea and there is a good place for cross play.

So, does it make it fine that Sony allows it for PC, but not for other devices? I don't think it excuses the current action they are taking.

And honestly, I don't think Sony allowing cross play would really affect their sales at all. It would be trivial at most. There are many reasons to buy a PS4 besides playing MC online with your PS4 buddies, and to hold back for a reason like this just seems really dumb. And I don't really see how this would be help MS anyways.

You said MAJORITY and you have nothing to sustain that so you are moving the goal post.

Sir, we are in the eight generation, not the seventh...
