I highly doubt that PS/Xbox Crossplay will ever happen, even when Microsoft is open to it now.

Is it not already happening with Rocket League?

It happened in the past with FFXI.

Either way, I would like to see it happen. This is fan service.

Do it Sony... it'll give people less reason to buy an Xbone. I wouldn't have to have an Xbone, because my friends have it. I can just keep using my Faptastic PS4 for everything and also play online with my Xboner friends.

Looking forward to this new vision. Good to see MS pushing it further.

I do not think it will happen.

Sony doesnt gain much from crossplay with xbox ,its own userbase is big enough and it will prevent some players from even buying their consoles .

Hmm? You will need to expand and elaborate on that point.

As far as I know, the games are almost identical, just the Xbox 360 version is no longer patched or supported, the Xbox One version is and is closer to the PC version, including all the new content.
Technically, nothing is stopping Blizzard from updating Diablo 3 on the 360 to bring it up to par to the newer releases with effects toned down, this is Diablo 3 remember, it could run on a freaking toaster.
Granted you have higher enemy densities etc' on the Xbox One version, but it's not difficult for the game to "lighten things up" so that the Xbox One version can revert to a Xbox 360 "mode" for multiplayer when playing with 360 users.
It's the same game, same network, just different hardware.

Xbox 360 CANNOT handle RoS without hacking the game. For example, rifts on PS3/360 only have mobs from the same act instead of game game wide.  The PS4/XB1 generate rifts based on data from the entire game.

PS3/360 have so little ram that every 7 loaded areas, all ones before it are reset as if never touched.

PS3/360 do not force an install -- its completely optional. This means that game patches cannot alter core game content in large amounts without breaking the game. PS4/XB1/PC all alter existing game files in place meaning the system thinks its the original game instead of overlaying it.

PS3/360 have lower mob densities due to the lower specs and the inability to properly calculate the math on that many objects on screen.

Add in the the Cube of Kanai with the extra calculations/ extra effects and you would melt the old consoles. Even if they were able to properly be patched (which they aren't), it would change the whole game mechanics (by stfor the people playing on the modern consoles.

Seriously though - you CANNOT properly patch a blizzard game in the ways they patch things (not just plugin DLC like borderlands) on the PS3/360.

First point: Yes. Hence the possible workaround I mentioned earlier.

Second point: True. But again, the workaround I mentioned earlier would counter this also.

Third Point: Having the game installed on the Hard Drive or Disc is ultimately irrelevent. - The latest game and the old game can be completely different you can just download the entire new patched game onto the Hard Drive and use the Disc for authentication.

Fourth point: As I mentioned in the first and second point, there are ways around this.

So we will have to agree to disagree.
