😹 I very much like honest companies. Both Nintendo and MS didn't want crossplay with Sony in the previous gen so why should Sony care about it now? MS and Nintendo trying to pull a PR stunt with this crossplay stuff. They only want it so they don't have to compete against the size of Sony's player base.

I keep hearing this trotted out, but no one ever lists a source for it other than "Sony recently said so".  Meanwhile, there was a dev last gen who specifically stated that Nintendo was open to cross-platform play on Wii U, but that it was Sony who wouldn't allow it.  So, what is the source for Nintendo refusing cross-platform play that Sony was asking for?

 

Not sure how relevant this is but I found this article for Microsoft...

Says it was already decided that FF14 wont be for XB1 so seems like MS already started the no-cross play policy for this gen before Sony and their PS4.  But maybe that changed with their whole "Xbox180" after their E3 console reveal and then going forward all games will be cross play?

OT:  I can't say that PS4 is the best experience but I do enjoy Fortnite on home console whether it'd be PS4/XB1/NS docked because I just prefer the comfort of sitting on the couch with a big screen TV.  However I did play Fortnite on handheld with the Switch, not the smoothest but was still very fun and quite an enjoyable experience.  I know when I get my Switch later this year I can see myself playing it on handheld mode a lot.
