    That would be great for everyone. I'm really not a fan of console exclusivity. Never have been, as it doesn't benefit the consumer one bit. I've been wanting to play a few Haxbox titles, but Im not paying for another console right now. I'd have killed to play more than Gears of War 1 on my PC.

    XIV could be coming to XBone with the new Cross-Play functionality being added soon. XBox boss, Phil Spencer, wants it and SE wants to port it over.
    Microsoft has approached SE about doing this, SE feels Microsoft is still not ready, More Regulations need to be Waived

    Best line of the article and it's kinda Ironic at the same time

    Yoshida told Polygon. "When our team reviewed the regulations that are associated with that, we realized that Microsoft may not have the experience or understanding of running an MMORPG as an online game genre just yet

    I remember FFXI being the only 360 title that didn't require a Gold subscription to play online (no pun intended) and reportedly MS was miffed about that. I wouldn't be surprised if their pay-for-service model is interfering here, too.

    That's what stopped it from launching for Xbox earlier.

    MS has more to lose than SE in this venture, so I doubt SE are budging. Haxbox is the one without any MMO representation on its console.

    That was one of elements in play to be certain, but even before you get to that Microsoft didn't allow any cross-platform play period until early this year with Rocket League:

    And Rocket League is a bit of a laugh for an example since Xbox owners can only be matched up against Steam users, where-as Steam users can match against either a pool of Xbox One players, or PS4, just not both at the same time.

    MS needs SE more than SE needs MS. It'll be interesting to see how negotiations go.

    Yea....no one's buying an XB1 for XIV, all MS stands to gain is some licensing fees.

    Idk how much of a cut Sony/MS get from sub fees but I doubt it's a lot.

    I feel like this move isn't worth it for Microsoft. SE has the most to gain from this being more sales/accounts/subscribers.

    I can't imagine that many people who only own an xbox want to play this game.

    No one's buying an XB1 period, and if SE were to bow to MS's demand of no sub fees to appear on the console, it wouldn't help SE in the slightest.

    I also don't believe that people would buy an XB1 for the game, but its also the only platform that isn't running the game, and if anyone is considering the Wii U as a graphically capable platform to run this game, they have another thing coming.

    I can't see SE wanting this seriously. There's practically a negative install base in Japan for the XB1, they'd have to jump through MS' bullshit hoops to get the thing on the system and the specs for the game would be even lower than they are for the PS4. Where's the gain for SE in this? The PS4 outsells the XB1 by more than double, even outside of Japan.

    I could see MS wanting this more to say "we have a MMO on our console now" and "we actually have a Japanese game on our console now" than SE saying "we have our MMO on XB1".

    Really enjoying this discussion in a thread that's dedicated to news and specifically not for any sort of discussion.

    There's Neverwinter, Elder Scrolls, and Destiny on Xbox off the top of my head.

    They probably wish they could pull console support altogether because it hinders development hugely. But sadly they are saddled with Playstation because SE and Sony are in bed together. At least they can avoid MS and another console that adds "limitations".

    I look forward to the day when XIV is finally pulled off PS3, but I have the sinking feeling they're going to keep supporting it through the entire 4 series. History indicates that's what will happen.

    I stand corrected on ES and Neverwinter, but Destiny?

    Sir, there are hardly any swords, and certainly no sorcery within Destiny.

    Sir.
