    Is this going to be cross play with the PS4? If so can you speak to those people in game, like have them join your lobby?
    History is a story we tell each other over and over, until we forget that it's a lie.

    So you can't invite each other.

    He clearly doesn't have friends that play on different platforms. Or you know, doesn't have friends. Tomato Tomato.

    You don't have to have friends is the trick. Matchmaking is a wonderful thing.

    Games having a bigger playerbase is a good thing, although I'm not sure if PS4 will adopt crossplay. Reason being that it's the more common and popular console so the answer to "what platform are my friends on?" will most likely be PlayStation, leading the person who asked it to buy the console.

    Sony probably recognise this so don't be surprised if they don't add crossplay anytime soon.
    Here be dragons.

    I don't understand your logic here, perhaps I'm missing something. You state that PS4 is the more popular console and the one peoples friends will most likely be playing on, you then go on to assume the person asking would buy that console (a PS4.) Why then would this be a bad thing for Sony? Why would an increase in console sales be a reason to not implement cross-platform play?

    Just to note as well that PS4 is already cross platform play with PC for Rocket League.

    toast Great news. I'm not too shabby at this game and my cousin(who is on Steam) is pretty good at it too. Look out Rocket world, we are coming for you! rock Hope other games do this too, it's definitely the way forward in my opinion.

    Adding crossplay will remove the need for people to buy the PlayStation 4 to play with their friends who will most likely be on the PS4 since it is more popular. Sony use this to their advantage to drive more sales. If crossplay was added between the two consoles, someone would not have to own a PS4 to play with their friends who use a PS4.

    Rocket League isn't a system seller since it's on all systems negating all your points.
