Sony Responds to Microsoft's Invite to Connect Xbox One and PS4 Networks

@Mirimon78: "especially since most of the xbox customer base switched to ps4 only" Source to this claim?

@rosinmonkekyx17: That's merely based on my experience. As I said, not all Xbox gamers are bad. Some of my closest friends are on Xbox and that's why I was on Xbox for a long time. I just noticed over the years that I personally had a lot more positive experiences on PSN as it seems to be more of a global community of people as I became friends with people from Europe, Asia and South America on PSN opposed to Xbox where it seems like everyone I meet is from the U.S. So I think Xbox is losing people in part because of a lot of disrespectful gamers on their network. I'm not closed minded, I think Xbox simply doesn't punish people for bad behavior as much as Sony perhaps. Surely there is a reason for what I and others are noticing that the worst kind of gamers prefer Xbox... not to say Xbox gamers are the worst kind though. There is an important distinction which you should understand.

@jedikv: I know idealistically it should sound nice. But as is, from my experiences with the Xbox community I am simply not optimistic about it. That's my opinion. By all means you can write your own comment expressing your enthusiasm for this idea and I won't call your comments "complaints".

@jedikv: well, actually it is. This isn't out in the open, as it has been already but through legal contracting msft blocks on multiplat titles. Msft would host it, on xbl. This will cost somebody, and msft will be in control of it... on an unsecure and inferior network.

What really needs to happen is msft needs to simpy open the door both ways, and let thwir customers come outside and play togethwr where ever they want like sony did in 2002...

@kenmaster239: Where did I say that? I said generally from my experiences they are more friendly. Don't lie about what I wrote. People can clearly see what I wrote.

@suicidesn0wman: that's obvious, most xbox users webt to playstation in 2013...

@suicidesn0wman: More like

A handful of PS and Xbox gamers are what causes this kind of thinking, people are judging the entire player base based on a couple "bad apples"

Generalizing at it's finest

@badbrad1961: Poor generalization

People these days...

@badbrad1961: Yes, just being around that environment eventually molds a person's mind into becoming like that. I think generally gamers from Nintendo and Sony often come from different backgrounds given they are more universal players from all over the world, this has molded a different culture which I don't think will mesh well with the frat boy culture of Xbox that's mostly U.S. gamers.

@Mirimon78: That literally makes no sense. How can you make cross platform play between PS4 and XB1 exclusive to XB1? lol.

@rosinmonkekyx17: I called you out for what you ARE. What has changed there? Did you finally buy an XB1? :)

@noctisumbra: My bad, Spencer did not know of this policy by MS to open up Cross-Platform play.

The Xbox will not gain more love or hate of what already has. There is no need to announce something that you clearly have no control over it. It is up to the developers and Sony. In fact Sony di not even confirm or deny that they will allow it which is the smart thing to do. MS should have just let the developers know that they are free to implement it and move on. No meed to announce it like it is a big thing.

@Moonco: HeavenGirl is an Xbox fanboy lol...

Who tried multiple times to nail me as a PS fanboy...

As well as saying PS gamers are more immature than Xbox gamers...

@BLAS1AN: I am not criticizing the feature itself. I actually do not care much for it.

My criticism if pretty much on the way P Spencer's division has conducted its recent news. The XB1 will not sell more or less because of this feature that they have no control since it will depend on the developers and Sony. It only provides fuel for the gaming media to make it look like MS is begging Sony for sympathy.

@BLAS1AN: He because he bleeds fanboy

@sodapoppimpski: it actually is bad... read it closer.... where will they play? Under who's control?

Then realize they should drop it all together and just come out and play in the public world with the rest of us.
