I think I just saw pigs fly by my window.

If we can get the companies working together to make gaming better for EVERYONE regardless of the system then it's a win win. Also with MLB The Show being available on other platforms, hope we can download any roster, sliders, settings, etc regardless of the system it was uploaded on. If someone has a good roster or sliders on the PS4, an XBOX user can download that-and vice versa.

PS3 possibility people bought it for the Show but PS4 I would say no,

There has been a stack of exclusives on PS4 the last couple of years. and xbox exclusives have all failed.. they also launched everything the wrong way with their DRM crap. back in 2013 then back flipped out of it, Microsoft really screwed up their last gen.

Love this. I know a lot of people that did not purchase a playstation just to play The Show (which is what I did) and were stuck with 2K and then nothing. The more eyes on this game the better imo!

I bought PS3 and PS4 for The Show... I’m probably in the minority but The Show is the only “must have” video game for me.

I'm willing to bet mlb had Alot to do with this. Probably forced Sonys hand to keep agreement. They have wanted a game on all systems.

Rumors are starting to come out that this indeed was the case. Combination of MLB wanting as many people as possible to get their hands on the game and the possibility of EA wanting back in.

Why would mlb force a partner who were the only company willing to purchase the license a non exclusive license say don't do this or no agreement? MLB was releasing RBI on all platforms, it just wasn't making money. This is more than likely mlb also covering dev cost.
