On a serious negative note regarding Sony, they are really screwing up with the Fortnite situation.
For reference:
Sony is shutting itself off to Xbox and Nintendo gamers — and it could totally blow PlayStation’s lead in the console wars

There's a 'dumb reason' why PlayStation and Xbox gamers can't play online together, according to a former Sony insider

Phone/Console x-over has become a reality. I've been playing a few phone games lately. Even Apple, king of the walled garden, doesn't care if I play the same game on iphone/android providing ways to use share same account info. On mobile I play the games on my iPhone, but at home, I use an Android emulator to play these phone games on my 55" inch screen...yes, they look good at that size these days.
I would not be playing phone games if I could only play them on a phone...too small for my eyes...but these games are great on the big screen via Emulator.
Sony is being absolutely moronic and short-sighted by not allowing their games to be played on other systems with the same account. It's an awesome way to lose loyalty and customers. Fortnite is HUGE. EVERYWHERE besides Sony/Playstation, you can play on your system, then play the same account on your iphone, android, switch, xbox or PC using same awards/skins, etc.
Making this even worse is that Sony has no mobile platform of its own (legitimate mobile platform). People buying skins for Fortnite, etc on Sony are screwed when they want to play mobile, which many many people do.(or on Xbox/PC/Phone platforms)
They may think they're untouchable , high and mighty with this generation but man, it's incredibly stupid to be doing this right now. Mobile games are huge and growing faster than PC/Console games, especially with these new high end graphics in mobile. Steam is offering streaming to any device now. Sony is really screwing their customers and themselves by not joining the rest of the gaming/mobile world in cross platform. Inbreeding only works so long before you start looking funny. This should be very obvious to Sony execs but the above articles indicate they're clueless about it.
