Explain how crossplay make the industry stronger and why only now

because it only counts when MS are miles behind the competition and need it more then the competition does. crossplay on current ps4 games i own doesnt benefit me at all and i switch off the ability to play against pc players. 

That must be it

I would like to hear this also. We didn't have widespread crossplay the last ten years, so what makes [current year] special?

Well, you saw the reasoning

Hmm lets see here. Bringing the gaming communities together and playing as one sounds like a very good idea to me. Increasing the life span of MP games by keeping the populations strong is another. Haha i cant believe that's even a question.

Even Nintendo is on board. Thats a rarity in itself and this guy says the Industry is strong when Nintendo is strong.

You ask why now? Because we live in the present not the past.

Bringing them together doesn't exactly makes the industry stronger... Nintendo instead of selling 15M selling 100M I can see the market being bigger and the industry strong, so please try again to show how the industry would grow, because MP games staying relevant longer doesn't necessarily turns into much bigger profits and market.

And why does this "all together" needs to be everyone using a Live account?

And when is MS going to accept PSN accounts on their system? And when is MS going to put all 3rd party games as play with everyone?

I wonder if this could be said for almost anything else?

The industry is strong when Microsoft is strong, the industry is strong when Atari is strong.

Nope... the impact of MS or Atari strong isn't nearly the same as Nintendo since the first is basically similar to Sony and Atari doesn't even is relevant to the same level anymore.
