Who ever thought Nintendo would be OK with something,like this, Nintendo really has changed

Yeah, they changed so much they decided not to even make a dedicated achievement system! Oh ... wait.

Does anything else think this could be the start of MS getting out of the hardware bussiness? Going 3rd party?

No. You could get Xbox Live achievements for years in Microsoft games on PC, iOS and Android.

This goes back around to why Sony won't play ball with Microsoft: Sony has its own online service with a trophy system, yet Microsoft demands they bend to their system despite Sony being the Market leader by quite a sizeable margin. I would love for Sony and Microsoft to play nice, but not if Microsoft intends to cuckold the PSN in the process.

What are you referring to?

Xbox Live login required to play online with Xbox.

Was this not only for Minecraft crossplay?

I was under the impression it was also for Rocket League. Is that not the case?

I can see why Sony doesn't allow minecraft. You would have to login to xbox live, and that would be pretty wired to do on PS4.

 

The don't have a single valid excuse for no crossplay on fortnite or rocket league tho. This if very benefitary for mp game devs who will get a combined and more healthier population of players, with less wait times, better matchmaking, etc, and also for people who have friends with the different consoles from them.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Why would it be the case? RL is not Microsoft's last I checked...

So it isn't? I'm genuinely asking.
