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

@jyml8582: Why not? Control your fear. Losing matches is fine sometimes.

@jyml8582: why not?

@jyml8582: It will be an optional thing.

@noirtenshin: now that MS is on the other end they want Sony to play nice lol but i dont see open cross platform between MS and Sony ever happening. I was shocked to see Sony working with Steam

Sadly if you dont have exclusives you dont make money :/ which i understand but what i really hate is timed exclusives as if for example im going to buy a Xbox to play the new Tomb Raider...no i have a brain and can wait

Though i hope this GFWL 2.0 dies a quick death we already have too many PC stores for games

@noirtenshin: "Just ask MS if they are willing to go cross-platform with Halo, and you will see their faces change color." Halo isn't on another platform though :/ Halo Wars 2 and that's about it.

@noirtenshin: The Halo thing already happened: Halo Online, a F2P game available to Russians only. Some guys tried to mod the game so it could be played in NA, and MS went cuckoo-nuts trying to shut them down. It's just a free game too, and it's still on PC, so no harm done, but MS showed their colours right quick.

@BigFeef: soby proposed cross play in general, on any network from psn to w/e the dev wanted. Msft denied it under the "only us or nobody" mentality.

@BigFeef: new guy is running the Xbox ship "spencer" and he's not an asshole

@BigFeef: I remember Blizzard saying they couldn't even start figuring out how to bring WoW to Xbox because MS wanted a ridiculously large share of the sub fees.

@Dizzy1976: imagine with the guys of wii u lol

@Dizzy1976: Haha. Good post.

@christophern4g: Are you serious? Anything that has to do with connecting to XBL or PSN needs the approval of Microsoft and Sony respectively. There can be no cross-platform play on those 2 networks unless both companies agree to let it happen. Activision, who is the biggest proponent of cross-platform play of the Big Three, has never been able to get it going for their games simply because Sony and Microsoft have never agreed to it. And it's not for a lack of trying on their part either.

@varmintx: Nintendo's next system will be on slightly less powerful than the Sony and MS system, but Nintendo will have Mario and all their other characters come out and dance around... plus more Aimibo's and a new controller that you can play with your shaft.. It'll be glorious, Nintendo thrives on making hardware that gives them profits immediately.. thusly the systems will always be weaker, even if they are comparable, by the time Nintendo brings it to market, Sony and MS will already be talking about their new systems which will be even more powerful than the current ones.

Nintendo should just hope out of the console market and license their games..

@varmintx: if you look at the games released for ps and Xbox very few of those are also on Nintendos systems. Hard to have cross platform when you competitor has none of the games you have

@varmintx: How can they? Didn't you see the articles about devs complaining they can't even consider what to do with the NX because Nintendo refuses to reveal any of its specs?

@varmintx: "Do people in the industry already know the NX won't be comparable to the XB1/PS4?" No one knows anything solid about it yet lol. Nintendo is being super secret with it.

@Kraven1845: Lol please. Sony is bleeding money and Playstation is literally the only thing keeping them alive at this point. You are 100% clueless about their situation for the past several years.

@Kraven1845: Uh Sony isn't in Microsoft's league. You mean Xbox lol. Satya Nadella is probably gonna **** up the idea in some way lol. I wouldn't doubt it if he tries to tamper with this in some way.

@gamingdevil800: Exactly. Just shows how badly XBO is hurting compared to PS.
