It's "simple", and Bungie possibly COULD do it... (Destiny)

It's my understanding that neither MS nor Sony wants this kind of "you got your chocolate in my peanut butter" type cross compatibility.

If you're going to ask him for links to backup that, then you'll have to like wise for your "understandings".

Not I think you're wrong per say.

I do think Rockstar [and Bungie with Destiny] is a special case, who if they made it a requirement [and I don't see why Activision wouldn't want to incentivise multiple copy purchases if possible] Sony, and ultimately MS would buckle.

Edit: I do think it is and isn't simple.
The idea of a cloud based character does not seem like too much of an ask [as someone who develops web applications, not games, storing data is storing data].
Hell, it has been part of PC based MMOs for yonks.
