GTA 360 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Do you think Microsoft and Sony will ever make something that allows Xbox live members and PSN members to be ably to play against each other instead of having 2 totally incompatible networks? I just joined live and although there are allot of people there I can't help thinking there could be more, what do you think? Even if you think the answer is no, there are still positives and negatives to talk about.

tubbs51 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 That'd be cool but i imagine it would drive up exclusives... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/468982-will-microsoft-and-sony-ever-consider/#findComment-1060325499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSeas Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I don't think that it would be a wise move for Sony. They would probably start charging for the use of PSN which wouldn't go down too well with a lot of PS3 owners who use PSN rather than live because its free.

d0mm2k8 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 PS3 is soon gonna start been cross platform with Mac and PC in Valve's games (well I hope so anyways). But no, Live and PSN will always be seperate.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It would be so much better, there would always be numbers online, for this to work though sony doesn't have to charge, they merge servers, then SONY pays half and Microsoft pays half, they have the funds to not charge except Microsoft is a pile of sh*t greedy bastards, i wish it would happen but it won't, sony and microsoft are firmly against each other.

Pat Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Won't happen. People having to choose one or the other means competition, competition means more money. At the end of the day that's all both Sony and Microsoft care about.

Ash_735 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It won't happen, more to blame on Microsoft's side, Sony have worked together with Valve and the upcoming Portal 2 will be the first game on the market that has cross platform play between PS3 Users, PC Users and MAC Users, Valve wanted to do something like this on the Xbox but Microsoft were against it for either "fairness" reasons or money reasons.

I see what you mean here, I know a couple of people that have both of the consoles, this simply wouldn't happen if they merged there networks though.

epoxi Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I agree: in the commercial world it's not possible. Though for the sake of playing with friends and having more people online it would be awesome.

But no, Live and PSN will always be seperate. unless datel make some software that adds onto the PS3 Xbox 360 that allows this to happen. Failing that the only other way it will happen is if Sony and microsoft merge but what are the chances of that happening? And there folks is your answer.

Robinski Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 unless datel make some software that adds onto the PS3 Xbox 360 that allows this to happen. I'm not exactly sure who Datel are, but I can tell you the legal headache anyone would have trying to run a service that relies totally on MS's XBL and Sony's PSN is substantial. It'd be similar to trying to run a taxi service with cars from Rent-a-Car.

In a situation like that you'd probably end up against both companies in court, and that would ruin anyone's financial future indefinitely.

Wait, this topic's about the merging of XBL and PSN, not women. For the record, it will never happen because of a reason I may edit into the post later. Right now, it's BFBC2 time for me.
