Nah.  console/pc cross play has been around since last gen and it's still the same.  considering you won't be able to play with your friends on rival consoles you can see now that Sony don't have much to gain with this.

But there competitors MS do.  Last gen MS refused so as I've said they don't deserve to have the massive ps4 userbase up the population on their servers.

How does MS stand to benefit from this?

Way less people own XB1's then ps4. So their multiplatform online games populations will die own or become less active far quicker than ps4. If they had access to ps4 players it would really help keep the numbers up a lot longer.
