If Nintendo and Microsoft are collaborating I’d rather have Banjo & Kazooie in Smash...

Cross Platform has been the innovation I've been waiting to become standard since they pulled it off with FFXI. Yet Sony stands in the way.
jadanks
Thats genuinely adorable.
tracereading
Is it easier to play on console?
Markamanic
Same with Rocket League. Devs said all they needed was a green light and they just have to flip a switch.
ImSorryEh
Well they never @Sony so technically they never called?

Doesn't Micro$oft own Minecraft?

This is really lame

Sony would be the undeniably best (at home) console if they just lightened up on what they allowed online games to do, and I'm an Xbox fan
EggFooYung
Fake. Xbox didn't call anyone gay or talk about fucking their mother.
ImSorryEh
Sony is doing the same thing xbox did and is getting quite caught up on its exclusives and best sellers
sorrycannotbraintoday
1 xbox had a different CEO back then. 2 back then there's more differences between consoles, whereis now they're just home entertainment PCs

Is the cross platform play coming when minecraft releases for switch???
sorrycannotbraintoday
looks like it, except for playstation.

Arrogant sony dont care cause fortnight will be obsolete in three months

How long has Overwatch been out now?

Didnt some game have cross play that was enable on the PS4 until sont pulled the switch and said no.

why is sony so against crossplay...?
sorrycannotbraintoday
because they hope that their larger population pool will case people to shell out hundreds of dollars just to jump into a bigger pool.
Zyrin
Its easier to get 5 friends all on ps4 and ps4 plus then risk those consoles sales going over to Microsoft.
LicensedToChill007
I've written off Sony...Very Applesque in their thinking. Poor security, no customer service, and the ps+ is a joke.
vidmagnuson
Double irony is that Sony's no cross-platform support policy is for the "safety and concern of their users."
letsdotheimgurthing
I like ps plus. I get it for the whole year and free games every month.
LicensedToChill007
I think the xb1 has this generation of gaming well in hand. Long live games with gold!
sorrycannotbraintoday
honestly, from what i've heard of E3, Xb1 has a helluva lot lined up for the next couple years, exclusive/win10 shared. if true they'll 1/3
sorrycannotbraintoday
finish out this generation strong, while Sony will have blown it's load and gone stagnant in the final rounds, and lose the start of 2/3
sorrycannotbraintoday
Next Gen and be knocked down and out for a bit. i mean, Sony's E3 was abysmal this year.

I play both and other than the 4 game you listed and ff12 my PS just collects dust, PS has nothing that can even compete with forza or halo.
zaphodthegrate
Considering that Microsoft just bought Ninja Theory, it's important you don't conflate the work of game studios with the work of console 1/?
zaphodthegrate
manufacturers. Those studios' exclusive partnerships with Sony was part of a business deal, and that can change. Consider what each has 2/?
zaphodthegrate
actual control over, and what each has done to improve the console environment or respond to the community, and I think you see their point.
kusuriya
what makes this better is headquarters wise they are neighbors
elicansmile
I work on that street. Pass Nintendo on my way to Microsoft.
Baxterbix
The one time I visited Redmond, saw a lady walking out of a MS building, asked her where Nintendo was located, she shrugged.

noa: 5001 150th ave ne, Microsoft studios is on 140th ave ne
TuggSpeedmann
So can you cross play with your phone, switch and PC now?
HaloMixter
I think pi and Apple TV too
AnonMasterRace
Like they’d play with PC... too many mods. Too many glorious mods.
SlyeFox
The crossplay is on the Bedrock version of MC, not the Java version.
Tsumino79
they really need to let us make mods for that version vanilla minecraft is boring mods spice things up a little bit
Kaysmira
I started modding so I'd only have to cut down a handful of trees manually ever again, then I was hooked on machines. I like terraforming.

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, you’ve got a point.

I think it's the sass in the comment more than saying "hey, Sony has good exclusives"
TrueFireduck
It's a heavy pro xbox one post about an outdated dead cult game, everyone stopping on the post are xbox users generally, its nature of imgur

He's right you know. It's often the audience, not the speaker, especially on imgur

I don't own an Xbox. I just prefer to support cross platform titles rather than supporting exclusivity.
Gingerbreadman18
Oh yeah like their 4 games they've been talking about for 3 years now.

I got bored with exclusive fights. It's all whatever man.

after Last of Us 2 drops, they'll have officially blown their load and will do nothing but milk multi-platform until PS5 in 3+ years

But that makes it look like sony is sad.. theyre the ones who dont want to cross platform... or let us have mods!! T_T
xclcoold14x
Literally everyone who owns a PlayStation (myself included) is practically screaming at Sony going “Let us have cross platform!”
TheGreatWizpoo
Yup. But they're all like " oh we cant control the 12 year olds who are gonna be saying they fcked ur mom if they from xbox" who cares
Fyba
They did it to themselves with their ridiculous cross-platform policy.
APinkDragon
If I was in charge of MS, I would probably pull Minecraft from the PS4 entirely. Even better if I could make it so the game doesn't play-
APinkDragon
On the console. 1- because I'm a dick. 2- that would bring sales to the Xbox and win10, and 3- Maybe it'll snap some sense into sony's head.

The massive backlash from that would not be worth it

rylecx
It's ok, we'll keep up with great exclusives while Xbox hangs on to its decade old game cross play

Yeah because there's no way a relationship built now could continue with other, more modern, games. And it's not like anyone still buys MC.

Ya because everybody has a spare $400-$500 laying around.
rylecx
right because that's how much it still costs... *checks.... nope
inboxmefoxes
Dude I straight up bought a PS4 for Bloodborne, but exclusives are absolute BULLSHIT.
rylecx
who cares if the concept is BS, it's a thing and PS4's exclusives are far beyond xbox
Dildowaggins
Not really sony is still yet to have a decent car game to compete against forza, other than GOW and last of us I find it pretty average.
rylecx
sorry but it's not a contest. It was 2 generations ago, now it's not close. You can prefer the other games but PS4's are objectively better
Alavar
They got you to buy a PS4 so it works lol
inboxmefoxes
I mean, the fact that it obviously works doesn't exactly make it less bullshitty.
mrmorales97
It pushes other companies to make games to compete with their exclusives. Competition is a good thing.
misfit119
Depends. MS will always have an uphill struggle with gamers due to being non-Japanese. Japanese gamers and Devs will always go local.
APinkDragon
>PS4 >Great exclusives. Please, even GOOD is stretching it thin on most of their titles both past present and future.
APinkDragon
I fucked up that grammar. Shoot me plz
Getty13
Hzd, God of war, blood borne, yakuza, ratchet and clank, and Spider-Man. I think these pass good
APinkDragon
Hzd was good appearance, but otherwise a mess. God of Porn just rides on the popularity of the first title, the rest have been bad,-
APinkDragon
Bloodborne is just kinda meh for me, but I can give them that, Spiderman and Horizon Zero I can too. Others are just
CAntthenuclearapocalypsecomesoicanjustdiealready
I think Minecraft and fortnite and pubg have proved that cross platform is the future of Gaming
sorrycannotbraintoday
think the best part is that Fortnite devs even showed that CP was possible by "accidentally" setting the servers for it, then reversing it
scooterific
Pubg has cross platform?
SanFranciscoKnights
Literally every console except for PS4. It’s a PR shitshow for Sony.
SanFranciscoKnights
Wait no, my mistake, that’s Fortnite.
nolittleplans
U do know Microsoft makes more money in 3 weeks than Sony does in a year. They can just wait for sony to die like it almost has before
Drknmonkey
With Microsoft sitting at about 90 bil revenue, and sony at 70~ bil..I'd hardly say this is true. I would assume higher operation cost for
Drknmonkey
Sony but that hardly means they are a dying or dead company. Ps4 is selling more units..I own both consoles and like both.
nolittleplans
They are still at a 70-80% chance of going bankrupt as they were last year. The only money they make is from PlayStation that's it and it's

PS4 and pc can play fortnite together, not that that means much lol.

PS4 and PC are also Xplatform in the FFXIV mmo. learned that when i asked why a guildmate was so slow at typing.

Crossplay means a lot of different things in different communities.

Why would Sony dress up as characters of the opposite gender? :D

They don't have to. They are winning the console war this generation.

Not for long if they burn through all the player goodwill they generated early on
GoblinOfPoliticalSuccubus
Players are already on their platform. People are going to buy games on the console they own. Sony gets a cut. No need to play nice atm.
Fishman1318
Pretty soon you’ll be able to cross play War Thunder between PS4 PC and XBOX1

Wait hang on. War Thunder is coming to consoles???

It’s been on the PS4 since 2014...

I'm one of those xbone losers :P
SchmittyJagermenjensen
Correction you ps4 and xbox can play with pc but not each other
WiqidBritt
According to a former Sony exec. Sony doesn't like the idea of players having access to things they paid for on other platforms.
Corrodias
That's not what cross-platform multiplayer support is. However, as far as the Epic Games account issue goes, that may be a decent reason.
WiqidBritt
They don't want you to have access to skins you bought on xbox/switch. Because Sony didn't get their cut of that purchase.
Corrodias
Re-read my comment that you replied to, because that's my reply to what you just said. That's not what cross-platform multiplayer is.
WiqidBritt
Sony walls off any account associated with the PSN. This includes using that account on other platforms AS WELL AS playing w other platforms

would have liked to have done that, but Xbox Warframe to PC. just got (almost) to the same point i was on Xbox
Mahanos
I love my PS4 but the whole Epic Games account lock they've pulled with Fortnite is disgusting. Their tone dead PR response was even worse.
TheWanderingBard
I argue Epic Games is partly to blame for giving in / allowing Sony to do that.
DemonicDave
Than people need to stop buying their shit because as long as they lead the console race cross playing only hurts them
imgurdemocratcirclejerk
Yea but microsoft... eww
SithariChaos
But for that to happen they'd have to let go of their exclusivity on certain titles.
whyihavetoeven
And why that is bad is beyond me. Like, having several milions games sold is bad thing for them ?...
sorrycannotbraintoday
no, they wouldn't. they can keep their exclusive single players. it'd make the multiplatform multiplayer games able to play between 1/3
sorrycannotbraintoday
systems. Fortnite showed that it wasn't just possible, but EASY. for a better part of a day, XB1 and PS4 players were playing Xplatform 2/3
sorrycannotbraintoday
after a few posts popped up on reddit about PS4 players questioning how people put spaces in their gamertags, they "fixed" the bug by 3/4
sorrycannotbraintoday
literally logging into their servers and clicking a setting to "off". Sony is just being shit to everyone, even their fans
NarsilThatWasBroken
Sony has always detested shareable stuff. Remember when you had to check your own music out of your PC "library" to put in on a mini-disc?
DetectiveSloth
And then didn't they put spyware on your computer?
yphastos
Ironically they made that "how to share a game on ps4" back in the day. https://youtu.be/kWSIFh8ICaA
merlinious
It was just a stab at xbox's idea of not having physical disk, or making them on-time use
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
Sony and Microsoft have always been against crossplay (with each other. Microsoft tried it only with Xbox games with the 360). But now, ...
GeekBoyChrisOnlySometimes
Microsoft is losing the console war for now. Both consoles have tried this tactic when they were losing, with the 'winners' refusing to play
APinkDragon
It also didn't help that PSN was WAY too insecure back then.
arcadia2000
1/THIS was my counterpoint when Xbox was busy eating its own feet at the launch of the Xbox1 - yeah the marketing is stupid but remember...
whoopsywoo
Reminder that Sony fucked modding in FO4
Zyrin
Eh that was because Sony wanted confirmation that those mods wont brick/break consumers systems. Bethedsa couldn't confirm so it was limited
whoopsywoo
Id rather they leave the chioce up to me
Zyrin
Considering people still blame other people for their stupid shit. Sony just wants protection for themselves so people dont sue/contact
Zyrin
Them requesting refunds when consoles start breaking. You might not but that dosnt stop others from doing it.
AnonMasterRace
To be fair creation club did that for them.
HonorZealot
He's talking about how Sony SPECIFICALLY dissallowed third-party content on the PS4's SSE and FO4
sagethesmartass
tbf my ps4 pro couldn't handle a forest mod si I doubt it could've handled half of the mods for fo4
ianRez
You're load order must have been fucked because I have a shit ton of mods just not amazing ones thanks to sony.
Bend3
Basic mods like tweaking survival mode would have been lovely im sure. Or the unofficial patch that cleans up a ton of issues.
SeismicCoin
you could have those mods. the only ones that werent allowed were ones that added additional external files. that unfortunately included >>
SeismicCoin
the scripting files that are needed to make more complex mods. its still super impressive what modders were able to accomplish within >>>
grizzlybeerz
Sony pitched crossplay years ago when the ps3 wasn't doing so hot and Xbox laughed at them. Sure it's petty, but understandably petty.
sorrycannotbraintoday
Didn't Xbox have a completely different CEO back then as well?
SeismicCoin
yes. the new management has also dropped the long planned VR support for XB1 recently, which is too bad. but things are changing at xbox.
Rips4w
Comsidering Sony has all 4 of their consoles in the top 5 of the highest selling consoles of all time, I doubt that was their motivation.
afartnSpartan
Remember when PS3 was like $600? People didn't buy that shit. PS3 struggled for a few years and got some price drops.
grizzlybeerz
Ps3 charged ahead in its last year's. It struggled like really really struggled it's first few years.
OrangeFlavours
What, source? I don't see how that's possible when xbox was winning the last console war.
GenjiShimadaOfTheShimadaClan
Yes always in the states though. Microsoft can't seem to get a worldwide grasp on the competition.
photog
The xbox sold more in the US but the PS3 caught up in global sales and they're basically even. The xbox also came out a year earlier though.
Rips4w
I was slightly off. They hold 4 out of the top 6 for consoles. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles

Good for you for admitting when you’re wrong! Although I question the accuracy of that page, it lists 82 million PSP sales but the (1/2)
OrangeFlavours
That's actually pretty close, wow. If you ignore the wii then you were spot on. As the other guy said, wiki numbers might be a bit off 1/2
Alavar
Doesn't Nintendo crush both in worldwide sales?
Rips4w
That's simply because of their age and pure number of systems of all types.
SeismicCoin
the wii was the best selling console of all time, and nintendo unconditionally dominates the handheld market. the switch is still too new >>
OrangeFlavours
I dunno, but I'd assume so, switch has sold MASSIVELY. Gameboy was popular too, but idk how much because it was sold when the gaming 1/2
Askingforafriend37
It definitely does in overall console sales, as they’re just about to pass the 700M mark, but i dont know about recent years.
