Ps4 is dominating the market because it has the best games. If you want to play its lesser rivals over cross play then be my guest. 

 

You could pick reasons not to support their rivals if you wanted too. 

 

Nintendo: far weaker graphics and performance for games in general, much smaller library and far weaker online offering. 

 

Microsoft: extremely weak first party offering. Much smaller player base. 

 

Sony will continue to dominate sales whether this cross play thing turns off a few players or not. If anything they gain more then they lose because a lot of people will buy the ps4 to play with their friends.

 

Latest weekly sales on vgchartz

Ps4 225k

Xbox 75k

 

If anything the gap will only get bigger. 

You do realize that when a market leader starts making bone-headed decisions that piss off both current and potential customers, the impact gets felt when their market-share erodes in the following gen.  Having the arrogance to create bad faith with the consumer may not seem to be a big deal while they have a 2 to 1 install base now.  But, if they keep pulling stuff like this, it could definitely swing people's decisions console-wise when the install bases start over at 0.  Sony isn't immune to this.  They once lost 71 million users from one gen to the next.

Nintendo didn't suffer with Switch as a result of bone headed decisions with Wii u and3ds.

Sony jjust have to release a powerful ps5 for 399 and keep pumping out those top class exclusives aswell as the best 3rd party supportin the business. Also ps5 fully backward compatible with ps4 to get all the good will they need.

Non believe next genps5 outsells xbox by even more.
