I wonder if they will do cross-platform with their older consoles? Diablo 3 for example could be patched to support it.

Halo the Master Chief Collection is in dire need of a boost in players, cross platform with the 360 games+player base perhaps?

Of all examples, you picked the worst....

 

Diablo 3 could NOT support cross generation play. The ps3/360 physically are unable to fully run the game. The cube of Kanai would probably melt the old consoles....

Hmm? You will need to expand and elaborate on that point.

As far as I know, the games are almost identical, just the Xbox 360 version is no longer patched or supported, the Xbox One version is and is closer to the PC version, including all the new content.
Technically, nothing is stopping Blizzard from updating Diablo 3 on the 360 to bring it up to par to the newer releases with effects toned down, this is Diablo 3 remember, it could run on a freaking toaster.
Granted you have higher enemy densities etc' on the Xbox One version, but it's not difficult for the game to "lighten things up" so that the Xbox One version can revert to a Xbox 360 "mode" for multiplayer when playing with 360 users.
It's the same game, same network, just different hardware.
