Our ancestors were safer in their caves than outside, among the mammoths. They're all extinct now, though.

Hackers still can get in MS no matter what.

Well the only thing I really like about X-Platform play is it is more likely that the community to games will stay alive longer as PC gamers tend to actually stick with games longer (from my experience anyways). Like most would suggest Kb&M has an advantage over the controller, although they could always allow Kb&M support on Ps3 games as UT3 allowed it and FF11 allowed it on 360.

What I really want to see is X-game play with Playstation/Xbox/WiiU/PC...yea it'll never happen but could you imagine all the great clan console wars that could actually take place.

MS doesn't want Sony's cooties. :p

It's alway fun to watch Microsoft and their supporters insist that whenever Sony implements something they don't need it. But when they get it eventually they wave like a flag in our faces or insist that's not important if they don't. For example I'll bet when Microsoft finally creates a format with more room like Bluray we will have to listen to how superior Microsoft is no matter how much we say that Bluray already had that for years

MS is full of greedy bastards...

...Greedy bastards hate to share.

It's a shame though; could've been something crazy.

Just imagine CoD or BF3 online with PC, PS3, and Xbox gamers at the same time...

BA-NAN-NAS!!!!!!

I don't know this guy that wrote the article, but as we've all learned from Apple; It is never ever a good thing for the customer or user to have their options limited.

What the heck are we talking about? How can something that keeps you confined be good? lol
We know why they're shunning the idea. It lowers profit margins. Do we really need an article to tell us this?

This was a worthless read.

Please all hackers need are an internet connection.
None of them have to attack you from PC it could be on a mobile device.
In a way if some hardware can run their stupid software those morons can still hack your devices.
Cyber War is starting to become more mainstream then it has in years and there's really no winning against them.
Only thing people can do is take the necessary pro-cautions and companies will have to play tug-a-war by constantly updating their security.
That's it.
:(

Somewhere in a parallel universe there's a place where corporate politics don't shit all over the end user. Where exclusives don't exist, where apple embraces flash, where I can play borderlands with my mate who owns a 360, where infinity ward still makes Call of Duty's and are given more than fifteen minutes notice to create one, half life's story arc made sense, and duke nukem forever came out eight years ago.

Alright, alright, so the last few don't have anything to do with corporate politics but if I'm basically writing fantasy I may as well go the whole way.

Microsoft's just butthurt because Sony and Nintendo are doing something that gamers have wanted for ages now. It was a logical next step.
