Haha.... "Shits Fired"

But yeah, pretty crazy to see Nintendo being more reasonable than Sony. I mean... come on, it's Nintendo... They only stopped region-locking their hardware last year.

Just proves how weak MS and Nintendo are that they need to gang up on Sony.

Can't wait for the Rocket League trailer.

The console with the worst graphics and the console with the lowest sales just got married. They gotta come together to fight Sony somehow.

I don't see this as weakness, but more as trying to make a big deal and bring to a more public light and issue that only really is being talked about on gaming forums.

Nah, CCN or some other news thing covered the crossplay thing.

Wow! That's pretty amazing.

It's one thing allowing it but Nintendo are actually advertising it? That's quite progressive. Especially for Nintendo who are about as regressive as they come. :P

New blood leading the company. The old guard were great, but times have changed and Nintendo has to change with it. Now get your damn online plan together.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What do people expect? With the media and gamers bringing up how Anti-consumer it is to NOT allow this, of course those that do will prostitute it. LMAO These two aren't afraid to just say "this is our product, we have faith in it enough to let people play with each other". HAHAHAHAHA

Yeah man their online plan is all over the place. I'm still not convinced by the mobile connectivity yet.

For context, this trailer probably relates to the fact that Bedrock edition of Minecraft launched for Switch today which opened up cross-play for the game.

Nope. BBC news covered it, Forbes covered it as well. Its a true shit storm for Sony. Only the most loyal of non paid supporters are defending this joke at this point. What's funny is these are the same people that claim to "love the industry" and want MS to leave it LMAO. Nothing about Sony's stance is pro gaming or pro consumer. LOL "They're ganging up on Sony!!!!" LOL What a bunch of cowards with no faith in their own product.

Oh i'm sure if this keeps up they might do crossplay. But i don't see that happening, since this is just a strong arm attempt.

That is a lie @cainetao11, I was told by a fanboy that 99% of PS4 owners do not give a shit about crossplay and that they will never care about it!

PS4 owners do NOT give a shit about this, except for Greg Miller's coward ass. Because he doesn't want people getting mad at him. "They'll take away my donation money. BOO HOO!". I don't give a damn about playing with Xbox and Switch gamers myself.

I have a PC. It's dumb to expect consoles to be on the same level. Go back and try another angle, please.

It was a question, not an "angle".

Though it is what console only guys do in here though isn't it? Or am I just imagining that, several hundred times a year?

If Nintendo and MS care so much about cross-play then they should go ahead and put their first party games on every platform. Pretending to be pro-consumer by embracing cross-play while still being anti-consumer and restricting their first party games to their own hardware (and OS in the case of MS putting them on PC) is hypocritical.

If I was Sony I would only allow cross-play when they decide to put Halo and Mario on PS4.

A lot of current PS4 owners jumped off the Xbox bandwagon. They don't give a shit what happens on there. Let MS stew in their own juices with that haven of broken games. It's not like there's a lack of players anywhere.

Why does this have to be about Sony? It would be great if the PS4 did have cross-play but I'm sure most PS4 owners have no problem playing with their friends given how huge portion of the market the PS4 has.

Personally, I think cross-play is really progressive and a good idea. I don't see why not from a gamer perspective; If the game is on all platforms, why not have cross-play? I think it's a cool idea and this trailer is really nice.

Exactly. NOTHING else is anti-consumer in the industry except this right now.

MS putting free-to-play games behind a paywall isn't anti-consumer

Nintendo never lowering the prices of their games and charging full price for ports isn't anti-consumer

This is two companies trying to weaponize their fandoms and the media to try and weaken Sony's position in the market, period. Sony's not gonna get tricked by this. In fact, I would be HIGHLY disappointed in Sony if they caved in.

More on topic- I wonder if Microsoft owning Minecraft has anything to do with this. Like are they trying to gimp the PS4 version? Has the PS4 version been getting any updates in the past year?

If this is what it takes for me to be able to play Minecraft and Fortnite with my PS4-only buddies, I applaud this kind of marketing.

There are loads of anti-consumer stuff going on and I do think the amount of criticism Sony is getting for this is unfair but that being said, I would still like Sony to embrace it in future. Like I said before, the games are multi-platform anyway so why not? Nearly everything can play Minecraft at this point.

And plenty of them probably have friends that game on Xbox and they'd probably appreciate playing with them as well.

MS putting free-to-play games behind a paywall isn't anti-consumer

Nintendo never lowering the prices of their games and charging full price for ports isn't anti-consumer

This is two companies trying to weaponize their fandoms and the media to try and weaken Sony's position in the market, period. Sony's not gonna get tricked by this. In fact, I would be HIGHLY disappointed in Sony if they caved in.

There are loads of anti-consumer stuff going on and I do think the amount of criticism Sony is getting for this is unfair but that being said, I would still like Sony to embrace it in future. Like I said before, the games are multi-platform anyway so why not? Nearly everything can play Minecraft at this point.

There's no reason to convince him, especially if you're trying to play as an apologist! I've seen you talking bad about me with your new best friend AzatiS!

LOL that BenjaminBanklin is still screeching over this!

You have got to be the BIGGESt fanboy to hate on this. Along with that this is why monopolies in gaming is NOT good whether it be Sony, MS or even Nintendo.

On another note I hope Nintendo allows Banjo in Smash. Like the relation Nintendo and MS have.

Nope. BBC news covered it, Forbes covered it as well. Its a true shit storm for Sony. Only the most loyal of non paid supporters are defending this joke at this point. What's funny is these are the same people that claim to "love the industry" and want MS to leave it LMAO. Nothing about Sony's stance is pro gaming or pro consumer. LOL "They're ganging up on Sony!!!!" LOL What a bunch of cowards with no faith in their own product.

Meanwhile xbox fans can't play Fortnite without paying MS.

If this is what it takes for me to be able to play Minecraft and Fortnite with my PS4-only buddies, I applaud this kind of marketing.

You're the only sane PS4 gamer here! I salute you!

The sad thing here is that more than ever Sony can't go back down because it will deem them as being weak and their competitors know that and will keep pushing and pushing.

Just proves how weak MS and Nintendo are that they need to gang up on Sony.

Can't wait for the Rocket League trailer.

I don't see this as weakness, but more as trying to make a big deal and bring to a more public light and issue that only really is being talked about on gaming forums.

Nope. BBC news covered it, Forbes covered it as well. Its a true shit storm for Sony. Only the most loyal of non paid supporters are defending this joke at this point.

Oh i'm sure if this keeps up they might do crossplay. But i don't see that happening, since this is just a strong arm attempt.

LOL Star Wars Battlefront 2 with all the online hate for the pay 2 win loot boxes still sold 7+million copies. So an Internet uprising can impact anyone, even a profit holder.

@FireEmblem_Man: My best buddy that I spent the majority of today arguing with over being obnoxiously rude? :P Could have fooled me.

I'm sorry. I just don't read many of your posts. I read the sales data you post because I'm interested in seeing what the market looks like but yeah, I don't read it. I'm not interested in the cows/lems/sheep shtick or any of the fanboy stuff.

Yeah, Sony isn't hunted by the goverment over crossplay, so i'm not sure how this compares to BF2.

Who's screeching? I'm not the one on Twitter screaming at companies whose products I don't want to buy to force them to change a policy that doesn't benefit them like the Nintendo weirdos.
