Thats the switch i think? but you can plug a controller into a phone

That is the switch controller symbol. Ps4 players have a symbol that looks like the DualShock 4.

Yeah thought thats what 410 had seen when he first posted it.

Oh well

The moment it happen, if it ever does, I'm sure Sean or an Admin would have it on the homepage immeadiately.

Sean wrote PSN is having issues I'm sure they're doing it to pump the player pool up.

Error CE-34719-4 is whats happening across PSN

Yeah, they may be the current market leaders, however i cant imagine this trend keeps going if they continue to ignore their customers/players at every turn.

Sony are hard headed. not allowing cross play is very anti-consumer they have nothing to lose from it at all. I doubt they will ever allow it.

Epic could potentially force Sony's hand in this. Epic could just enable crossplay without Sony approval resulting in Sony shutting the game down and Sony getting huge backlash from the playerbase. Players will leave the platform or Sony will let them keep it.

It depends how they have made the arrangements, they could have made Epic sign something legal that states they are under no circumstances allowed to enable it, otherwise i believe they already would have. Could be wrong and it could be Epic trying to negotiate right now with Sony but i cant see it.

Oh for sure I felt at one point Rocket League was the one who would push Sony as they were really getting loud about cross-play at one point but right now Epic has so much power if its ever going to happen its going to be pressure from them I'd say.

The fact Sony is taking stock hits now because of Fortnite cross-play issues speaks to just how much power that game has.

Hopefully both Pysonix and Epic can come together and force Sony's hand together so they don't get singled out. Would be a huge step in the right direction for the gaming industry, games need to become cross platform, you should be able to buy a game and its addons and not have to worry about which platform you chose to buy it on!

so why do you sony won't do it? I think they are scared of losing even more money in the long run. What are other logical reasons?

They can't lose money from cross-play its a win for Dev's and players there is no real reason whatsoever to block it other than the fact they view the PS4 as having the largest install base so everyone else gains more players on their platform so they gain really nothing.
