This week started out quite strongly with Microsoft‘s announcement, saying that the Xbox Live is effectively opening up to other platforms, making players able to play together, regardless of their selected console/PC. Sony was silent about this topic – until now.

Their statement is promising, but it also dodges the chance to answer directly to the question we all wanted to know.
