Do we need extra people from the Xbox community? No



Does Sony have any incentive/reason to even do this? No, it's basically charity



It's like complaining that Sony isn't helping to pay Microsoft's bills. "Omg so selfish". Like, why the hell would they?!? 'there's gAmes.and then thars gaM3w.it's a lovable character;it's a lovable guy. and he nolan snaked on you. so hard. the snake was in you so hard.'-Proletarian Are PlayStation games online communities small/dying?

It doesn't really affect ps4 players and it has minimal gains and potential large losses.

The popular games like BF, COD and FIFA will always have strong online communities, and even so, they all stand to gain from cross-play. A bigger playerbase is always a plus.



Right now Titanfall 2 is suffering from huge lag spikes due to a diminshed online population. XBO has a larger playerbase, but combine the 2 and you have a healthy online community.



In Warframe only the end-game (Void) missions and special rewards missions are highy populated. You'll eventually get full squads in 3 or 4 of the low level missions, but only the ones for grinding cores. everything else is pretty much dead. Combine the playerbases, and there's a better chance of finding other Tenno to play with.



Now imagine if cross-play was standard, and devs actually began to play into it.

The next big FPS could have a dedicated platform list, where PS4 players wear blue colors, Xbox wear green and Nintendo wear red, and you can only join teams from your own platform, and you will only play against ohter platforms. I would love it, and I know that all the brand loyalists would too.



Or a game like MAG. yes, I know it was exclsuive to PS3, but such a game could live in a cross-platform world. The pooled playerbases would keep players around, as the game wouldn't seem to die so quickly, which in turn get players to leave.

Please do elaborate, especially that losses part, becauyse form where I'm sitting, I only see benefits (for gamers) with cross-play. http://i.imgur.com/YeGyOr5.png

Couldn't help yourself could you.



I am not surprised you only see benefits from your seat, only ps4 players have large negatives from this.



Anything that negatively affects ps4, negatively affects the ps4 playerbase. Opening up the ps4 to cross-play could potentially lower the ps4 playerbase and look where that has gotten the nintendo and xbox playerbase, lost games, exclusives, timed dlc ect.



In my opinion people who gain from this are mostly like a small minority of players who are too poor to own a second system and have people they know that own a different system than they do. I believe the majority of people have their friends on the same system, that's the difference between having friends and having people who are on a friend list.
