Cross-platform is already a thing, but it's mostly Microsoft pushing for it and Nintendo going along when it's feasible to do so. Pushing for it is mostly a product of being behind, though. Those in the lead tend not to want cross-play because they can already offer enough of a playerbase to leverage fence-sitters into buying their platform to play with friends. Those that are lagging, however, benefit more from "you don't have to choose between getting our system and playing with your friends."honestly i think the push that brought it over the edge from "we don't really want this" to "yeah we want this" was epic using fortnite to bully Sony into finally allowing it, and then call of duty following along before it was really a thing, it was always Sony who wouldn't allow it for some nebulous "our player base doesn't want this" excuse when that was nowhere close to the truth at the time --- see my gundams here https://imgur.com/a/F7xKM5r updated 2/28/24; hg rising freedom ...
