"we just need to be able to have the go ahead"

hope so. it would be ironic now for sony to simply say it's not in their best interest and then watch all the supporters now say sony doesn't need to after all the bickering before how microsoft was the guilty party.

Sony always allowed it but they never acted like it was a big deal.

Edit:

With Final Fantasy 12 it was supported. Then with Final Fantasy 14 they wanted to do the same but Microsoft said no.

"Boom. Funny enough, Square's last online game, Final Fantasy XI, was actually cross-console on PS2, PC, and 360."

""The policy has not changed on Microsoft's side," Yoshida told RPGSite. "The main reason from our side is that I don't want the community to be divided; to be split into two or more. For example, one player might be on the PC version, another might be on the PS4 version, and I'm playing the Xbox version - but we're not able to join the same game servers. That is just... I just don't like the idea. I disagree with it."

"was aDon Matrick issue"

No its a Microsoft issue since they are the ones who own the infrastructure of Xbox live that functions through Azure which is a whole separate division.

Phil couldn't have done this without the approval of Nadella.
