New Unified "Minecraft" version that allows total cross platform play held up by Sony

As a huge Sony fanboy since the first PS and FF7 I got my switch in March and havent looked back. (ETA: I love the path Nintendo is charting) My kids play minecraft and it would be awesome for them all to play together (2 daughters, and a son) with me between our PC, the switch, PS4 and ipads/ipods.
Minecraft, the new version will not be released on PS4 and they plan to pull the old one, because Sony won't support cross-play.
Feeling better and better that I'm drifting towards Nintendo this gen. They seem to be "getting it". My ps4 got 1000's of hours of play and will continue to be my main console but frick Sony for not moving forward with cross play.
Nintendo is notorious for staying closed and even THEY are doing it. Get with the times Sony.

Microsoft's next move with "Minecraft" is even more dramatic: An update coming to "Minecraft" this year unifies all versions of the game — if you're playing on an iPhone, you can team up with a friend on Xbox One and craft a world together. A friend playing the game in an Oculus Rift VR headset on a PC could jump in, and another friend on the Nintendo Switch could too. It's hard to overstate how big of a deal that is, which is why it's so unfortunate that a single company refuses to participate: Sony.

Part of the issue here appears to be Sony not wanting to allow cross-play with the other versions of Minecraft. Sony has its reasons for saying no, but it appears those conversations are ongoing, so there is some hope left. The old console version of Minecraft will be removed from sale after the new edition launches for Xbox One and Switch.
It sounds like this means the PS4 edition could be gone unless a deal can be reached between Microsoft and Sony. However, if you already own Minecraft for PS4, or any other console, you can continue to play it and its associated mini-games, though there will be no further updates.

Seems like a pretty stupid move on Sony's part. It's just highest sold console game EVER, no big deal

You keep it if you have it, but people won’t be able to buy it anymore and it will no longer be updated.

Literally the only thing my 3 kids use my ps4 for is minecraft or watching youtube videos, mostly about minecraft. I was going to get them a ps4/xbox one for Christmas so they can play together and now I have to rethink the situation. If sony doesn't get on board they prob lost a ps4 sale to xbox, and that's from me, a longtime Sony fanboy.

I don't see a future where Sony will let their userbase play games using Xbox Live accounts.

There's like 3 games for the Switch and yet you haven't "looked back" at all the great exclusive games for Sony's console that have been released since then?

Lol suck fony

This is pretty much what Sony has always done.
They want to go their own way and frick everyone else about 99% of the time.
It is their culture.

When you have the Asian market cornered, you can do it.

How is that an argument in favor of the Switch's lineup.

Minecraft is a great game to play while drinking. Many a nights I have gotten trashed and done some crazy shite in that game.

Typical Sony
They think way 2 highly of their system and themselves. Way 2 highly.

While I very much agree with the OP's point that Sony needs to get with the program, I understand their likely logic. They are currently the industry leader for this generation, and it isn't close. How does this benefit them? It is MS's property.
I think,and hope they come around b/c it only makes good sense to do so. Their message at the start of the generation was what appealed to gamers. They should absolutely stick to that or risk another PR failure.

Don't really give a shite about Minecraft cross play because of Microsoft's stance. Sony is never ever going to allow Xbox Live sign in on the system.
Now Rocket League a game I actually care about, that's the one I hope Sony changes their stance on. Also no need for a different sign in so I think Sony will eventually do it.
