Mate regradless how you spin it. The industry becomes alot more healthier whether you think cross play is worth it or not. Everyone playing togother and keeping online populations high benefits all gamers. It adds attraction to products and lasting appeal.

The fact your sticking up for Sonys decision amazes me.

If Sony released an IP on a MS console than id expect MS to do the exact same thing since its Sonys game.

The fact Sony allowed users to sign into Steam accounts on the PS3 to play games like Portal 2 cross play shows that Ryans excuse is far fetched and embarrassing.

MS did it in the past too however guess what, its not 2012, its 2017 with new leadership. Its time we move past this greed and become a whole as a gaming community.

My brother hates Xbox but owns a Switch. He was quite happy to see that he can play Minecraft with me and i dont even need to buy a Switch copy of Minecraft. Thats the true *For the Gamers*

We need more of that.

 

MS did not release minecraft on ps3 and ps4. They bought the IP after it was released. Portal 2 did not really have a significant online community so it's not like it matters much especially since steam is not a direct competitor in any sense. If MS was "for the gamers" they'd have worked on creating a bridge between the communities and not thinking of ways to inflate the xbox live MAUs.

Hmm lets see, because its an MS game so it should use the MS Network. If its a Sony game than it should use the Sony Network.

Sony gave a poor excuse and said there worried about there install base yet allowed cross play with Steam? Haha okay.

Here is a fun read for you, Dont argu with me, argu with them.

In the US, the 360 was the number one selling console of the 7th generation. It murdered the PS3 the US. It wasn't even close. 

At any point did we ever say, "let's talk about one country only and ignore the rest of the world?"  I certainly didn't say that so I'm not sure why you think you can come in late and move the goal posts.  You can't.

Who said i am sticking up for MS's decisions with the 360?

360?  What are you talking about?  I said Xbox One.  Reread my post.  Final Fantasy XIV is on the PS4 but not the Xbox One because of Microsoft policy.  War Thunder is on the PS4 but not the Xbox One because of Microsoft policy.  That's a much worse situation, especially with Stormblood  releasing for FF XIV right now.  

I'll say it again:  If you're mad about what Sony had done then you should be absolutely furious about what Microsoft has done.  There is no way out of that unless you want to look like a massive hypocrite.

If thats the case than MS are just as bad back than. Its stupid to block cross play especially with a stupid reason. The point is MS are allowing it now and Sony pulling out is the problem here not MS. Also Sony has never Cross played with Nintendo, only PC.

So are you going to pressure MS to not demand Xbox live accounts to integration? Or that they open up for FF XIV and Warzone? Or that all 3rd party games are cross game?

And again you haven't show how that increases the market or the revenue.

LOL. If we believe their PR's, Sony and MS love Ninty more than 3rd parties do.

Worse is that it may even be true

If its an Xbox game than they have every right to demand there network. ITS THERE GAME. Sony have shown they have issues cross playing with Nintendo and Xbox, its pretty clear. Where has all the Cross play with Nintendo been? Why has Sony only got the PC as there cross play platform in there history books? Oh right they have PSNow on PC, they dont care for PC but if its Nintendo and Xbox than its a no go. Sony want to hold an monopoly. The games you mention are in the past. We are talking now. Xbox are guilty for the same thing however again Past vs Present. 

Here have a read, facts are below.

Clearly not just my opinion. I also live in the present not the past and look forward to the future.
