Sony's reason for blocking cross platform play is just a load of PR spin.
It has nothing to do with 'protecting the children'.
It's very clear that Sony does not want to enable crossplay between other consoles because of three main reasons.
1. They lose the advantage they have of having the largest player base in each multiplayer game.
2. Doing so would make the PS4 more unattractive for new buyers
3. Sony doesn't want to have a situation where its users sign up for Xbox Live to play Minecraft.
That last one only applies for one game, which happens to be the biggest game on the planet, so Sony would rather block all games with cross play than just that one.
As Sony is a business they don't want to lose the advantages above.
I hope Sony reconsiders this approach as it's quite anti-consumer in my opinion and is clearly something that fans want. It might actually work out better for them if they do embrace cross console play.
