Ninja applauds Nintendo for embracing cross-platform play, says Sony is holding back due to greed

Ninja is one of the biggest streamers in the world, so when he shares some thoughts on the industry, people listen. In a recent interview with Polygon, Ninja talked about Sony's lack of support for cross-platform play. He had some pretty harsh words for the company.

“It’s so bad. I mean, like, obviously I love Sony, I love PlayStation. I’ve been playing them my entire life. [...] But, when push comes to shove, it’s a business decision. There’s a reason they’re not allowing players on the PlayStation to play with Xbox. And I mean — it’s just greed.”

Nintendo surprised many by saying that they were completely open to cross-platform play, and have backed up their claims by allowing games like Fortnite to be open to all other players. Ninja took a moment to talk about the progress Nintendo has made in the online space with moves like this.

“[Nintendo is] definitely coming around finally, and this is a huge stepping stone in the Nintendo scene, the fact that they allowed cross-platform. I just don’t like that there’s anything being withheld. It’s 2018. Everyone should be able to play with everyone.”
