| Kerotan said: As a playstation gamer I'm happy. I turned off pc players in RL because they could have an advantage and there's no way to communicate with them. Ps4 games usually get most sales and stay active online. Not our fault other platforms have the minority share and want a slice of the Sony pie. I'd have sympathy for MS if they were up for this last gen like Sony were. They snubbed it then when things were equal and suddenly they want it when they get dominated. They don't deserve it. |

Threads about it never comes up on these boards. We all know why MS suddenly is a big champion of cross play and why Sony doesn't allow it: they sold 60 million consoles in 3.5 years, they don't wanna share their pie with Microsoft and Nintendo. Especially not with MS who when they were in the leading position, did everything they could to have games and gamers locked to their platform. We would have cross play today if MS wanted it with the 360. Why would Sony allow other platforms to benefit from its gigantic pool of players, when its another reason for people to choose PS4.
I dont have sympathy either, Phil Spencer should do a better job at selling more Xboxes and expanding his player base. |
With cross-play, the player pool for non-PS Minecraft will include PC players, X1 players, Switch players, mobile players, and VR players base on https://www.pcgamesn.com/minecraft/minecraft-windows-10-cross-play
All of these combined might be about 60 million users, if not more, rivaling or surpassing the amount of PS4 owners there are.
