Forbes Contributor - Microsoft's Dare is a Perfect Jab Against Sony

[The Fury]

I thought the main reason for this kind of move is to allow games that might have low player counts on individual platforms join the platforms together to gain a larger one overall. This won't change things like CoD or FIFA. I'd presume they will remain the same as ever. MS allowing such a thing is good PR for them in line with what Sony already wanted to do (right?).

I didn't realise it was a reason to make Sony out to be bad guys when they say 'no' to a game that doesn't need it when MS are pushing for it.

Like you say, it's up to the developers, not MS or Sony in the end.
