Absolutely fantastic news. Good guy Sony does it again. So happy to hear this!

That's what you want and maybe even expect me to say right? Well guess what I still believe we shouldn't have cross play with xbox which is the main competitor to the platform i game on. Switch, pc and mobile I've no problem. So while I'm not happy i accept it and I'll curiously watch to see who this move benefits the most long term.

Can anybody explain to me how this will benefit Sony more then xbox? Because atm I'm leaning towards it being the opposite.

Dude...

Why in the hell would you ever be against what your fellow fans/ps4 owners want. You should be for it, because there are people that want it, despite Sony's stance which should not be your concern. A little solidarity doesn't hurt. For example: I mean, everyone knows I am all for Nintendo. The online has issues. I for one don't put much value in achievements, but I know people that do. So why would I be against it? If it means something to them, then I am also for it. I would want them to be satisfied with the platform they invested in.

You should do the same.

I outlined my reasons before. They are selfish reasons. I don't have a single irl friend who plays xbox over PlayStation. Literally everybody in our gaming circle of about 30 people are on ps4. Some have xbox but they mainly use ps4. So no cross play doesn't bother me. 

 

Why don't I want it? When 360 was doing well and ps3 wasn't my gaming experience suffered. Microsoft getting timed exclusives and dlc early such as gta 4 and cod. Sony for once looked like they might get knocked out of the console business. So from a selfish point of view i want ps4 to dominate it's market. And imo crossplay is more favourable to xbox then ps4. 

 

So all in all its no big deal for me having it but if I had the choice I'd go without it. As a matter of fact i have pc cross play turned off on all games i play and will switch off xbox players too.
