| Nem said: I still don't buy this sudden change of heart from Microsoft. Sony is right to be wary. I'm sure there is a PR play here. I very much doubt MS would be interested in opening up the Xbox live network after they have been so protective of it for so long. There is a secret motivation here behind the scenes. |
My guess is that it's because right now PS4 has the larger userbase so they have more to gain from adding in PS4's userbase than Sony does adding in XboxOne's. It also might help slow the tide of "well I have to get PS4 because all my friends have it" that often compounds the success of the lead console in a generation.
Could be other things, but these make sense to me.
