Climbing up the ladder
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have a PS3, but most of my friends have xboxs. i was wondering why, when we play online, why can't x boxs and ps3s play together. I Mean the whole console wars and what not is one reason. But microsoft and sony would make so much money if we could all just play along lol. I know they wont ever do it, but just as a though, is it even possible???

Do a barrel roll!
It is possible but they will most likely never do it because then people wouldn't have to buy 2 copy's of Call of Duty Mw2 or 2 copys of any other multiplatform game also I wouldn't have to subscribe to XBL, the only reason I bought a 360 was to play with my friends on COD MW2 which I already had for Ps3 and had to buy a second copy there just making more money this way and most likely wont see a reason for merging both online experiences.

In Flames Much?
IN theory yes.....

BUT and a big BUT

For starters MS servers MS want users to pay to access them. This would mean non paying users getting access.
Also PSN and xbox live is different setups so connecting them together would mean a new system just for one game. And MS won't allow that as it provides it all.
PSN it down to the devs for the online so they can do there own stuff almost.

PC and PS3 users most of the time are pretty close when it comes to servers just a couple lines of codes stops them from joining together. Some games use the same leaderboard servers or something

PSN more likely to have it happen with it against PC.
XBL too closed off sadly

Cool Man (aka Tustin) think that right
