Cross play doesn't require and Xbox live subscription though. For Minecraft it requires and Xbox live account but no sub and for other games like Rocket League you don't even need an Xbox live account.

You are missing the point. In every single thread on cross play the answer to the question is written hundreds of times and yet people still scratch their heads. It's an unbelievable psychological block, the likes of which I've never seen before. 'Why won't Sony allow crossplay? I want to play with my friends online and the only way I can do that is to buy a PS4.'  It's so obvious that it pains me to even have to explain.

Really can you elaborate this pls? Im confused lol

Come on, does it really need an explanation? I know the 1 year subscription has been reduced but it's been slowly creeping towards the top for quite some time now. The ONLY reason MS want cross play is because they don't want to lose LIVE subscriptions. I do find it odd that one of the most, if not the most, promoted reasons for people to buy an XB is because 'that's where their friends play'. It's been said a million times on every damn forum. And now people seem to scratch their heads when Sony won't allow cross play. 

It's a reason for XB owners to buy a PS4. 

Yes because i didnt understand.... I mean am i suppose to kno everything? Thanks for the explanation

It not like Microsoft wants PS4 players and Xbox players to have each other on friends list. They seam to only want the users to be able play in the same game to increase total population in games and decrease wait times. As long as I (Xbox user) couldn't add u(psn user) to my friends list or have a way to play with other than sheer luck I don't see how there is any actual advantage for Sony. 

 

Having cross play without being able to join up with the other console users would still have huge benefits for everyone. It helps load times for us, it helps ecosystem for the devs. Allowing more players in 1 pool opening the possibility for more varied playlists. The negative effect for Sony would be marginal at best here. And arguing against cross play falls into blind allegiance in my mind. There's steps Sony and ms could take so it doesn't outright benefit Xbox and negitvly effect Sony.

They have a ton of room to make up in a short amount of time. All the Scorpio and regular edition pre orders, switch riding on Mario hype, it almost seems like an impossible feat at this point. I honestly can’t see ps4 winning November npd.

My gut says it’ll be Xbox>Switch>PS4.

The reality is it feels like any of the three could win, this could be a very close month.
