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

David Thier here writes that opening up Xbox Live to work cross-platform is the perfect move against Sony to negate the huge advantage in player numbers and thus friends buying what platform their friends have....

He does however (conveniently) forget to mention that each game has to impliment the feature themselves, there is no switch MS can press to make every game cross-platform.

When +90% of the games on both platforms (Playstation 4 and Xbox One) are the same Multi-platform games, i have to ask:

Which is the No Brainer Console to Buy?

• Console A, that run the Multiplats at a higher res with better framerate? (On most cases)
• Console B, that run the Multiplats at a lower res with worst framerate? (On most cases)

The people that are indeed making sacrifices are the ones buying the Console B, just because their friends have it.

I dont think that this move would make any difference at all.
