Agreed. Sony doesn't have their own OS, but Sony also has gained a respect for the console industry since consoles are their most sought after selling point featuring their formats (which they tend to push first). Yes, I can understand Sony showed some positivity towards Microsoft, but really they should do so while being weary of Microsoft. This could very well be a tactic that works in Microsofts favor since it opens more doors and online is a deal breaker at times when it comes to friends buying certain consoles. If they establish crossplay for all it doesnt matter which console they buy. |
You forgot something. Single player games. They make up the majority of games on consoles and sony is stonger than ms on that front. Crossplay doesn't have any influence on that. You're right if we're just talking about multiplayer focused games like cod.
Crossplay is a good thing overall. It's better for all gamers who play multiplayer games because it gives you a much larger pool of players to face or play with which in turn keeps players playing those games. I think it would increase sales for both playstation and xbox because more younger people would get into gaming since they can play with all of their friends. Don't have to be so picky on which console to choose. Just pick one with the single player games you like. Nintendo might even forced into it eventually.
