We are migrating to a model that a generic console will play digital games, uniting the community.

Not implying anything. I’m just going off of what my PS4 inbox looks like vs what my x360 inbox looked like.

I think pointing out that Microsoft did the same shite back in 2013 is good enough reason to start railing Sony now before they let Microsoft gain an edge going into next-gen. I know they’ll never catch up in sales but they’re getting in position to make a move for the next round.

I don't know why people even want this. It defeats the whole purpose of having different systems. Plus they have slightly different specs. Seems like it wouldn't work too well just from a technical perspective.

I don't want crossplay at all because of those reasons but I will say Fortnite does it right.

If you play crossplay they put you in a different server type than say just PS4. That way you are not forced into a competitive disadvantage.

How? Exclusives will still be exclusives, but I don't see anything wrong with me owning Madden ( ) on PS4, you on Xbone, and we being able to play against each other. Drastically opens up the playerbase for MP games, and that's not a bad thing either.

What is the point of different systems if they all play the same games? Even the controller design would make for an unequal cross play experience.

Fortnite's

PS4 + PC + Mobile seems to be fine
Xbox + PC + Mobile seems to be fine

and those are completely different specs.

people will buy whatever console comes with the best bells and whistles that suit what they're looking for regardless of the game library.
