Awesome news!

awesome news. every console game should support this from now on.

That's super good news!!!

But in-game trash talking will reach new levels. xD

That's great news for gamers. Now we'll be able to play some games with xbox one gamers. Frankly, MS should have done this last gen.

I know this is an XBO thing, but this is huge for Nintendo especially. One of the biggest reasons online games don't do well is because the community is so small. That issue evaporates with cross platform play. Nintendo would be idiots, IDIOTS, not to take the bone MS are giving them with this move.

Sony's on top right now. They absolutely should open up to cross play, but I can see why they wouldn't, but Nintendo has literally everything to gain from doing this. If the NX launches with every multiplat having cross play with the XBO, that is going to make Sony bite the bullet anyway. They can't be the odd one out in this.

Huge, huge news.

It's a two way street, you know. Has sony been open to cross play with other consoles all this time? Nintendo? Because I haven't seen evidence of any of it except for one example on some indie Nintendo game that ended in "good talks."

People shouldn't have to be forced to own certain consoles just toplay their friends online if both platforms have the game. I hopefully PSN/XBL online games is something hear about more at E3 and not just a hypothetical situation.

This could really help out Nintendo aswell.

Sonys been the most receptive toward cross plat play in my opinion, with PC. I am just going to assume they will be open toward Xbox (would be disappointing otherwise).

I could see Nintendo getting the cold shoulder from the other two though simply because they still offer free online (PC is an exception, not the rule) and also because the titles don't have much overlap with other networks. It would definitely be nice though, and I hope it happens

good...good

pretty sure SF5 is cross play between versions. FF14 now that I think about it
