Xbox 360 was able to play against PC already so don't even say that the One can handle it. The problem was Final Fantasy was charging a monthly fee and xbox gamers didn't want to pay extra. Playstation is once again trying to make it look like they are the first at something and ignoring that little thing called facts.

Didn't say it can't handle it,I said Microsoft has opted out of it with the Xbox one.
-
How have they opted out of it? Borderlands 2 wanted to cross platform with Xbox 360 and PS3 but Sony wouldn't go for it. So when it comes to Xbox and PS I think Xbox is more willing to cross platform than PS. So you saying they have opted out this early is just someone being uninformed.

ATM PS4 players can play against PC players but not XBone players,Sony opted in to the cross platform gaming project yet Microsoft are digging their heels in with the XBone despite all the tech to do it being in place,even Nintendo have opted in.

I was just wondering why any company would opt out of a potential source of income. They may not have found the right developer for them.

Exclusivity?as a guess.
-
Exclusivity is usually not the developer. Like in Destiny it is not Bungie that is giving the exclusives it is Activision. Just like CoD with Xbox exclusives Activision is behind that also.
-
Maybe it companies like Activision that are preventing the full implimentation of this in order to get more money,without their exclusives they make a lot less money,if cross platform gaming was fully rolled out they would find it harder to offer exclusives to just one platform when they are work and play together.

Just need developers to get big enough that the can take care of there product from start to finish and then get the system makers on board with the concept and not compete.

Yep,the console war started back in the early 80's and seems to gaining more momentum the more consoles advance,to be honest I think full unity is at least a decade away.
