In my head this is how I'm imagining this.....

Sony: See's trailer.."ok enough is enough, let's finally add cross play"

...everyone decides to continue to buy PS4 moreso over their competitors now that they approve cross play....

MS & Nintendo: "well that was stupid of us"

(This is an exaggeration so no need to take it literally if you do)

Honestly I get that Sony should have cross play by now, or actually it really should've been last gen but MS didn't want to. Besides the point, but if MS/Nintendo having cross play, wouldn't that be better for them and give them the upper hand over Sony?

Sure MS has Minecraft but it seems like Fortnite is becoming all the rage, with kids too, so over time that doesn't really help any of the big 3 significantly.

I dont see this as just a jab at Sony but also it's their competitors are telling Sony to join in on a successful strategy. Just doesn't seem like a good business tactic on Nintendo/MS end.

Maybe i'm missing the point but if someone would enlighten me as to why MS and Nintendo would want to make Sony's PS4 even better i'd like to know.

I doubt cross-play or not has strong effects on sales of hard- or software. It might have an influence on the brand image of the associated companies. But simple enough it is just a thing '4 the players'. Cross-play is good for players. You might not want to use that, but having the option is a plus. It is simply the companies promoting somethign they realize a portion f their customers has an interest in. And that is a good thing, companies listening to the customers. We should laud them for that, so they listen more often to us.
