The great thing about PC+PS4 is cross platform play, which means the ranked scene is one pool of players, the only limitation being that PS4 and PC players can't team up. Not sure how it will work in a LAN environment for pro competitions. I assume Psyonix will have to choose a single platform, which one assumes will have to be the platform with the biggest player base, unless there is a hat of money handed out to convince Psyonix to choose a lower player base platform as the official competition platform.
If an Xb one version uses the same servers as the PC version then that could in theory mean cross platform play remains across 3 platforms. But I wonder if MS will go for that. I don't think there is any chance of MS or Sony being into the idea of a direct interlink between PS4 and Xb one players operating on their own networks, so the connection would have to be via a common server that both platforms are willing to interact with, namely PC.
I assume Vita can cross platform with PC and PS4 no problem.
So that leaves Nintendo somewhat out on a limb.
I would have liked to get Psyonix's view on the cross platform possibilities when they expand to more platforms. Is it something that would be a deal breaker, or are they happy to have unconnected player pools?
