It was tried with a little known game, can't remember the name, between PC and X-Box, but it was so buggy and so many issues it was abandoned after release.
Why hasn't it been made yet?

Well, look what happened when Square and Disney joined forces. Megawads of CHA-CHING!
Seriously, though - I think one of the main reasons would be that they would have to let the other company into their online network somehow to ensure interoperability, and I don't see that happening in a million years. Just like I don't see (for example) a motherboard ever being able to support and ATI and Nvidia card in CrossSLI (or whatever) - the dangers to the IP would be perceived as too great.

Oh they'll come together alright.....when hell freezes over! But since hell doesn't exist it will NEVER happen!
I don't get how people think this idea is so fantastic. Maybe they think if they take one awesome thing, and mix it with another awesome thing, it'll equal some super-uber awesome mega epic lulz network that pisses excellence. Kinda like when two saiyans do the fusion dance. However, what is this going to add to your gaming experience? It's not like you never have enough people on one network to play against. There are so many millions on each that you'll always have people to play. Whether they are playing on a 360 or a ps3, doesn't really matter, does it?
All in all, theres no real benefits to gamers, I don't get the cha-ching factor because where's all this extra money coming from? And it'll take a buttload of monies to bankroll that kind of development anyway.

Well, my main reason of wanting this is that I'd like to play online with my IRL friends. I would gladly buy a few games if I could play with my 80% of my friends who play on the xbox 360.CINN4M0N said:
Some of my friends have 360, others have PS3, and I would like to play with all of them.
I suppose for someone playing alone from their house won't have any difference really but for people who know people and want to play with those people and can't, it's quite frustrating.
I agree with that Xbox live is not exactly a good place especially if the PSN players and XBL players meet o Modern warfare 2. Not a good outcome there.
