Sony has responded to Microsoft's invitation to enable cross-network play between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a carefully worded statement.Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that it was opening up the Xbox One to cross-network play, theoretically allowing PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners to play with and against each other online.However, for that to work developers and publishers have to embrace it and more importantly Sony has to agree to it. And by the sounds of the statement, the PlayStation platform holder is not aggressively opposed to the idea?"PlayStation has been supporting cross-platform play between PC on several software titles starting with Final Fantasy 11 on PS2 and PC back in 2002. We would be happy to have the conversation with any publishers or developers who are interested in cross platform play."Here are some bullet-pointed reflections on the statement: Sony hasn't said yes or no Sony's passive aggressive "we've been supporting cross-platform play for ages" kind of recognises that the whole thing is a PR move by Microsoft designed to make Sony look bad, so it had a little dig back It's probably never ever going to happen, is it? Still, Sony has said that it's willing to have the conversation. Which is a start. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out.
Then I can finally beat a friend of mine whose "very good at Call Of Duty" or so he says., A new gaming protocol, that could work these systems would be nice.
This would be great because then you would not be forced to buy a console your friend has just to play with them. Your friend has an Xbox One but you want a Ps4 e.g.
