Sony are arrogant and do not have a good track record of listening to their customers.
I can't see them ever allowing ps4 owners to sign into xbox live accounts on the ps4.
I'm actually surprised Nintendo are allowing it. Just goes to show how much better Nintendo is than Sony when it comes to keeping their customers happy.
I have a different proposal, instead of having to sign into Xbox live accounts, why not allow ps4 accounts for the new Minecraft? We don't really need to have one right?

This would still probably require the PSN network to connect directly with the xbox Live network. The two networks probably can't connect to each other for technical reasons which is why an xbox live account would be needed. Even the android and iOS versions need to connect to xbox live to play online
Actually they can. Psyonix, the makers of Rocket League, built their cross play expecting Sony would agree, was surprised that they didn't and has repeatedly said that they literally can tick one box on their server settings and PS would play with Xbox immediately.

Yeah heard that too since my last post.
Looks like it's nothing to do with the fact that the game uses a microsoft account. Sony are just being dicks
Yup. If you want the newest Minecraft updates, and don't have a PC running it, an Xbox One S will be way cheaper than a PC. And if you have a 4K HDR tv, the 1X is still cheaper; I just recently built a pc for rendering that will do 4K 60 games. It cost $2000.
I basically upgraded to this generation largely to get a slightly better minecraft experience. I now feel like I've played the Sony exclusives of note - lasyt of Us Remastered, Horizon etc, so I literally could easily move over to Xbox because of this. But I think I'd be waiting until the 1X comes out, or certainly until the actual Better Together update comes out, and then again, I've also got an interest in Switch now that Metroid is eventually coming to it.
So on the one hand, this could lose Sony a few customers - I don't, traditionally, keep more than one console at a time - but on the other hand I can also see parts of what they are afraid of, which I think I wrote about in the other thread. On the face of it, cross play is more a benefit to the trailing consoles than the leading one. The situation with Minecraft being bought by their biggest competitor is wholly unprecedented and has surely always been an awkward thing for Sony, but the relationship was set up before that purchase happened. Changing the relationship, at this point, sounds like it's a big pill for them to accept.
Nintendo only would have done it because they are doing what they can to recover from a thorough beating. Getting Minecraft on Wii U in the first place was a thorough turn around, if you remember. Notch didn't think it would ever happen.
Going multi-platform is the way to go. Can never understand why some people have total blind loyalty to a single console brand. To me hating one console because you own the other is just sad.
Even thought my Xbox is my preferred console I still own and play regularly on a ps4 and am seriously considering getting a Switch now. I personally believe you miss out on great exclusives by staying totally loyal to one brand.
So do we think that along with infinite worlds we will also lose the villager caps and lower mob caps?
Also I wonder if we will be getting Sweeping Edge in the update?!
PS4 player here and i'm genuinely considering getting a second hand XB1 just so I can play with more people on larger servers...damnit Sony!!
As there will be a unified version and cross platform play it's safe to say that the game will be identical on all the included platforms except for things like resolution, draw distance and the interface. Meaning if there are no caps on windows 10 then there will be no caps on xbox or nintendo either.

If you buy an Xbox, be sure to tweet Sony a picture of the box and kindly explain why.

PS4 gets nothing. As for the rest, yup. Look up Minecraft Windows 10 edition. Thats what they are using as a base.
The better together update is much sooner; Summer is the listed time which is basically any time between now and the end of August.
The 4K update will be on or after Nov. 7.
Yep. The enhanced graphics update is for fall. Everything else is summer.
