A “configuration issue” on the developer’s side meant that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players were cropping up in the same Battle Royale sessions and even able to specifically team up. The fact that Xbox gamertags allow spaces while PlayStation Network IDs do not led users to investigate further until it was finally confirmed."
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Along with 10 new cartridge games collections, Evercade is releasing not one but four new hardware options this year.
Seeing as how their latest hardware is the Pocket with built in games... Id assume the new hardware is likely variants on those with other games built in. hopefully a Konami one, Namco one, Data East one and SNK (long shot) one. I have their Taito and Capcom units already.
Console Obsession says: "A virtual reality game situated within an abandoned theme park? HappyFunland presents an intriguing concept for a horror-themed VR game. Delving into the remnants of a once-vibrant amusement park undeniably evokes an eerie sensation, but does the gameplay effectively harness the brilliance of its premise?

Sony giving privileges to Xbox sucks for Sony also.
This kind of matter about cross console communication is very annoying, if Sony wants to do it great, if Sony doesn't want to do it great also, but stop begging for this, this just makes MS look desperate of some of the PS4 success even thou this article is about Fortnite I think, still this cross blah blah thing was brought out cause of MS desperation and failed console, if you want to play with xbone players well go out and buy its console, support them and stop crying, simple as that. Seriously this cross gaming matter wasn't even a thing some while ago. And finally this doesn't suck for gamers don't generalize this like if it was an actual issue, the last thing I want to have when playing online is some brats yelling all the freaking time like the 360 era, not all of them but man there were so many!!.
The only gamers it sucks for is Xbox honestly. No one on PS that I know cares about playing with Xbox.
Sony getting cocky once again. They better hope PS5 is the best place to play Fifa and COD.
