This has been known since e3 and we have debated this already.

No way in hell Sony will want their users to make an xbox live account.

Just showing the man he has some options. And I think he is a FF fan. That is why I put those at the top.

Lot of meh in that list when the best thing in it is a ps2 remaster from 2006 or a 3 year old MMO expansion.

Look, you took what I said the wrong way. All I said was that since I got my switch I havent looked back. I traded my VR for the switch, I still play my ps4.

All I was saying is that from a original sony groupie that I've now split time with switch now, mainly because Zelda was so fantastic and Ive played over 195 hours of it. And now owning a WiiU Mario Kart is fantastic. ARMS is great with my kids.

I'm looking forward to a lot of ps4 games, Death Stranding, Red Dead 2, God of War, etc.

I'm just happy about Nintendo's recent switch surge, and if I was talking about anything, it was that Nintendo is famous for being a closed, walled garden, and they are even embracing Minecraft unity because they know it's going to remain huge with the younger gamers and adults alike.

Come on man. The mean of those 8 games on metacritic score is 83.5. Which is the same as as Splatoon 2, which is 83. Nothing meh about those games.
Also, you do know that MarioKart is a 3 year old expansion too right? Which game you think has way more content added?

You started a thread to say how you have not looked back. I pointed out the obvious, which is their is way more quality games on the PS4 to look back to.

Your title and OP points out the refusal by Sony to play cross platform with Microsoft. And even says "frick them". Seems like you came here to bash that more than point out how happy you are with Nintendo.


This is not that Sony won't go cross platform, they have for a number of years and were the first to do so. They just will not do it with xbox. I think it is silly. But I fully understand why they do not want their paying customers to sign up for xbox live. Now for other games that don't require it, they should cave.

I like you, but you misread the thread.

I started a thread saying Sony needs to stop their hissy fit about console cross play. They are literally stalling an entire generation of online play, and it's retarded. Not once did I trash Sony or their games, I said "frick sony for not getting with the times" that was the whole point of the thread.

They still might support it if they can get Microsoft to not require a Xbox account for Minecraft and other like games. We dont know. This is probably the discussion they are having, bc Sony hasn't decline it fully just yet

Then I gave kudos to Nintendo for getting with the times, and praised the switch, because I think they are headed in the right direction and I'm very happy so far with it. Typical closed company that protected their own ecosystem at all costs now playing along with direct competitors for a better gaming landscape. Kudos Nintendo.

You need to reread the OP

I'm a longtime sony fanboy and will continue to be. But they are chicken shite for not unifying console multiplayer, it's stunting the next generation of online play that would be awesome. The next generation of gamers (my kids generation) all grow up playing Minecraft. That's a fact. Sony is making a mistake IMO. If I told them the PS4 won't play the new Minecraft version and will stop getting updates, they will ditch the PS4 in a heartbeat.

I never wanted an Xbox one, but considering my kids playing habits this move will force me to get one. I'm not happy about that aspect and I'd rather get them a PS4. So this move will lose them a second PS4 sell from a hardcore Sony fan and that sucks.

It's just roles reversed from last gen, Microsoft used to not want to play ball with Sony because of their market lead. The funny thing is Sony has been doing cross play longer with PC but nobody gives a shite about that.

I'm still not sure what exactly Minecraft is, and at this point, I'm afraid to ask.
