If all 3 companies sold 100 million consoles each, the industry would be even stronger! My non statement is better.

because it only counts when MS are miles behind the competition and need it more then the competition does. crossplay on current ps4 games i own doesnt benefit me at all and i switch off the ability to play against pc players.

I would like to hear this also. We didn't have widespread crossplay the last ten years, so what makes [current year] special?

Hmm lets see here. Bringing the gaming communities together and playing as one sounds like a very good idea to me. Increasing the life span of MP games by keeping the populations strong is another. Haha i cant believe that's even a question.

Even Nintendo is on board. Thats a rarity in itself and this guy says the Industry is strong when Nintendo is strong.

You ask why now? Because we live in the present not the past.

I'd like to think so as well. Ninten certainly does help keep gaming interesting with their hardware and software. I'd probably lose a fair share of interest in modern gaming if they were to step out.

In the present, Xbox One users are unable to play FF 14 and War Thunder because Microsoft would not allow them to use merged servers.  That's not just being unable to play with people on another platform, that's being unable to play the game at all, which hurts the players and the developers.

If you're mad about what Sony had done then you should be absolutely furious about what Microsoft has done, which affects players still today.

You know what makes the industry strong Ryan? Allowing cross-play between all systems.

That sounds like it only makes Xbox stronger. There's no advantage there for Sony. Why doesn't anyone call out MS for not making copies of Minecraft the same on all platforms without forcing people into XBL? And I don't want to hear about devoting resources because they literally have all of them. MS is a third-party developer since the purchase of Minecraft, they should be pro-consumer and make sure the game is the same experience no matter where it is.

I wonder if this could be said for almost anything else?

The industry is strong when Microsoft is strong, the industry is strong when Atari is strong.

all I know is last gen the PS3 wasnt that strong, barely beat out the xbox360 by the end of it all.

And what happend? we where lacking certain genre's like jrpgs.

If you like japanese games, then yeah that industry is stronger when PS is on top.

wii60 was a real thing back then, do a research and you will see that wii60 was "the perfect combination" 

"why should I buy a ps3 when I can buy a wii and a 360 for that kind of money!?" that's wii60.

Do a research, you'll see that the PS3 outsold the 360 on a regular basis.  That's an era of dominance?  I don't think those words mean what the writer thinks they mean.

Actually, looking it up, "wii60" mainly looks like a fanboy thing.

In the US, the 360 was the number one selling console of the 7th generation. It murdered the PS3 the US. It wasn't even close.
