Sad fact is that my girlfriend and me play Wii more often than we do at my 360. Too few games actually support playing at the same time :( Last game we played on 360 together was Halo:Reach in spleet-screen at new year's eve...

with all these cross gen games there is no excuse. why cant farcry 4 support split screen on XB1 and PS4? there is a PS360 version? i dont care if graphics are like PS2 graphics when we play split screen. its a really great option and it would make some games fantastic. 

split screen online games are fantastic too, one reason me and my brothers keep buying CoD is split screen online. seriously, make the graphics and rest downgraded when playing split screen, but at least give us the option. 

Exactly! It's not that we expect the same graphics x2, they can really dumb down the graphics quite a bit to make it happen. This is (or was) one of the big fun factors in gaming for years! I remember when Nintendo said they would support 4 controllers on one N64! Man, this was quite a news back then. Nowadys dev don't care anymore, "play the game online!". Sure, then you can sell the game even more often, who cares about the customer?

It's not that I don't like to play online, definitely not. But local multiplayer has to stay, in my opinion. I like playing together with friends at my home... Not to become too much off-topic but I fear that gaming will be even more "anti-social" with VR but I think we will topics about this in the coming months or years
