Yeah Sony were never going to allow something that results in their players signing up to a service owned by their biggest hardware rival.

Gaming consoles aside, don't Sony and Microsoft work together in other aspects? It kinda seems like they'd have to. Both are so big and have their hands in so many things.

They do but the console space is different.. Microsoft were super aggressive in their entry into console gaming and on their second attempt caught Sony off guard and gave them a real scare.  Ultimately they felt and now Sony is tightening it's hold on the market again but there's no chance Sony would approve something that would boost MS'S live numbers.  Especially since they love nothing more to brag about MAU'S in their PR.
