The first can happen with enough talks, the second so far seems unlikely, Sony has yet to make any exception to their anti cross play policy, and since they are currently dominating the console market they have more to lose if they allow crossplay.
Until the dev's come out and say Sony is causing issues with them having cross-play, I am sticking with it being Microsoft's fault. I have yet to see them even mention Sony in regards to the cross-play issues, it's always been a Microsoft problem.
