Speculation: PS3-Xbox 360 cross-platform messaging made possible?
Andronix of PlayThree.net, ponders if PlayStation owners should feel green – an Xbox 360 shade of green to be specific – that the Xbox 360 is set to integrate further with Windows via the Xbox LIVE MSN Messenger feature. Andronix notes that Sony might want to look towards Yahoo Messenger, which already has inter-connectivity with MSN Messenger and Xfire.
Anyhow, since July 12, 2006, both Microsoft and Yahoo have allowed limited inter-connectivity between their messaging services. For now it’s pure speculation on Andronix’s part, but he sees a possible connection between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 via Yahoo. That is, IF Microsoft chooses not to block it and Sony does attempt to use Yahoo, or at least allow Yahoo to work with the PS3.
Xfire by the way, has already been assessed by Sony for use with the PS3. Will they allow Yahoo Messenger too? Hmmm…
Speculation aside, Sony is already working on their own messaging system, that’s set to promote their much touted Game 3.0 philosophy.
