Are you talking cross-play between the gaming platforms or exclusives being on pc?

I'll address both I guess.

Sony already said they were on board with cross-play with xbox and has been allowing crossplay between pc and PS3/PS4. MS tried to act like it was their idea not that long with that publicity stunt of theirs.

I'm completely fine with 3rd party console exclusives being on playstation consoles and pc. Sony will never bring their first party exclusives to PC because sony doesn't have an OS they're trying to sell. Sony wouldn't benefit from a move like that.

I Actually think MS set back this possibility by announcing they wanted cross network play, if only Sony would agree, via PR statements.  They could have reached out privately that they were finally ready to do cross network play and actually work something out. It actually makes me think they still really don't want it in reality.  

I read an article that the first time Sony execs heard MS was finally interested in cross network play was when it was announced like that.  If they were truly serious you wouldn't tell the press on a pr blast before trying to reach out to the people you supposedly want to connect with. 

I would have liked to see it but the way it was handled probably set it back a long while and I'm not even sure MS wanted anything more than the press they got for saying it in the long run. 

I could see that. Frankly, it's a clever move on microsoft's part because when crossplay doesn't come around, sony would take the blame for it not happening. I really wish the conversations between  them about on that topic was available to the public. I hope they would come to some kind of agreement on it.
