Sony CEO - No Fortnite cross-platform play because "PlayStation 4 is the best experience for users"

[Falconbox]

Lock if this isn't new thread worthy, but it's a new statement from Sony's new CEO Kenichiro Yoshida that seems to draw a hard line that this is not happening (at least for this generation).

Speaking at the IFA technology show in Berlin, Sony chief executive Kenichiro Yoshida said he felt playing on the PlayStation 4 was the best experience for gamers and therefore should not be compromised.

"On cross-platform, our way of thinking is always that PlayStation is the best place to play. Fortnite, I believe, partnered with PlayStation 4 is the best experience for users, that's our belief," he said.

"But actually, we already opened some games as cross-platform with PC and some others, so we decide based on what is the best user experience. That is our way of thinking for cross-platform."

*rolls eyes*

Like the bad faith arguments I see around the internet, cross-play with PC is not the issue here! Yes, we know Sony allows it for PC. But we want it for other consoles too.
