Hahaha i was expecting a BS statement like that and the sad part is that people are going to defend this anyway.
This is the Sony of the late PS2 era, that really needed a punch in the face for how arrogant they became.

Arrogant Sony is officially back. Wouldn't have been out of place on that "There's no arrogance like Sony arrogance..." thread that existed a few years back, during the "get a second job" era.
I thought this type of condescension was all behind them.
Surely there is a better PR approach than this. Honestly explaining that cooperating with competitors is absolutely not part of their business plan would at least be something, and I'd respect that. They could say that they don't believe their shareholders would support such a move, as another explanation.
What they have put out there is the worst option, arrogant and deceptive.

PlayStation is the best place to play, cool. The entire world doesn't have PlayStation so for those who don't let them play with their friends. How hard can that be to comprehend?
What makes it objectively better than playing on Xbox or Switch?
Because they have no reason to do that with dominating right now, like microsoft didn't with the 360 back then.
I don't understand what's wrong with these replies.
Are we not allowed to criticize this behaviour?
lmao, the best performance, visual fidelity and controls are available on PC, followed by Xbox One X. So specifically in the case of Fortinite, the PS4 is not even close to the best place to play.
Yeah, I recently got a X1X thanks to All Access & it just feels better than using my PS4 (Though they seriously need to work on the latency on the dashboard), I've just grown tired of the Sony Ecosystem and their nonsense when they do get ahead.
Luckily gamers have a choice to vote with their wallets. I don't think the vast majority of PS4 gamers care for cross play
Damn, is this the HD remaster of todays best thread ever? I hope this runs at 60fps 4k at least.
But in my opinion the Dual shock 4 is the finest input device ever made for gaming and everyone on PC plays on the minimum settings anyway...
Funny, I was just playing FFXIV on my PS4 Pro (a game that happens to be cross play with PC) and the PS4 experience is decidedly inferior to even budget gaming PCs in my opinion.
PS4 is fantastic in many respects but there's a whole lot of scenarios where a PC is a better fit.

I think that's lacking forward thinking on Sony's part. Console makers always end up paying for being overly cocky/stubborn (IE: Nintendo with the N64, Sony with the PS3 [albeit with an impressive turnaround], and Microsoft with the X1). So while they may see blocking crossplay as beneficial now, this type of attitude will likely cause them trouble down the road.
He can eat his words when the PS5 releases without ray tracing and the 7nm 3000 series comes with even better ray tracing performance.
