    That was the big thing years ago (dunno if it still stands) that Xbox simply said "We need our own servers"

    Here's a recent Article for you. It's all down to Microsoft (and Nintendo) to be open to cross world servers -nothing private that isolates one platform- so regardless of the platform, everyone can play together.

    Considering that Sony is being a big baby about Crossplay I wouldn't expect it on anything else.

    They BOTH are at fault, Microsoft for their needing gold to play and Sony for saying no to letting xbox and tendo play with them. But You can't really blame sony in this case. Remember.. sony was in Xbox spot last gen and asked them if they can be friends. They said no, so ofcourse when sony is on top.. Why would they say yes to Mircosoft? I'll give you a play by play....

    PS3 gen.
    Sony " Can we be friend? I noticed you have a larger playerbase.
    Soft " LMAO get outta here loser. Why would we play with losers like you.
    PS4 gen.
    Soft" umm remember when you asked to play with us?
    Sony" Sorry.. we can't hear you under all this money and fans....

    For the record I want it to be on xbox cause more people... but Sony AND Mircosoft have to come to terms and shake hands. And I don't see either company dropping their stands anytime soon. Hell Sony is already doing the cross thing with PC on a few games, it's not just XIV, Street Fighter V is another one that's cross to PC. So unless SE can make them both sit down, shake hands and be on the same page.. it's not happening.

    There's a whole bunch of truths in that post of yours. That whole hubris thing from the big 3 console makers is cyclical. Each time one of them starts to dominate a console generation, they slowly stop being pro consumers. Seemingly never learning from their past experiences.

    Oh yeah definitely, we can't know for sure where this generation will lead. There's an inkling of it happening again with Sony being less than consumer friendly in their decisions and Microsoft doing some genuinely good things for its player in the hope of gaining some ground when the new systems launch. But yeah you're right we can't be certain where it's going yet.

    It is quite a fascinating phenomenon though. The success of the PS2 lead to the PS3 and its giant enemy crab and a 600$ launch tag with barely any games that was a nightmare to develop for. The success of the SNES lead to the N64 and Nintendo's insistence that devs were gonna be fine with using cartridges still. Then the Wii lead to the Wii U, a system I love but one Nintendo felt would sell on it's name alone despite terrible marketing. Xbox 360 lead to Xbone and it's thankfully discarded, ridiculous anti-consumers launch policies etc. Every time, they think that their brand is too big to fail.

    And with that I realize that I totally derailed this thread, apologies to the OP! Carry on :P

    You're not wrong, I noticed people tend to choose a side and I'm no different, I used to defend Sony but I stopped and I only did it cause I'm a fan. It happens. - hugs PS4 pro- But yeah I get the sales side of it, none of them want to give their rival a leg up. Understandable, but Sony seems like it's making the SAME mistakes that lead to the PS3 crappo start. Hopefully SE makes a harder case to making them drop the wall and play nice with XIV, I'd love to inspect a player and see an Xbox tag like I do when I see my fellow PSNers ingame. Pluss more people. With Fornite being shared with Nintendo and Mircosoft along with being able to use Live on the Switch we'll see if Sony lets up and joins the party.
