Not sure why people would think it would have an impact on the servers. All they're doing is "combining" the servers instead of having a dedicated server for each platform. It's like having two separated hotel room that are adjoined to each other, then deciding to tear down the wall between them. To the user, the overall RANDOM experience shouldn't change or would be seamless. It's not like the players are going to have a choice whether or not they want to play either XB1 or PS4 users only.

Personally, I'm more interested in how this will impact game invites and party chat.

Correction: I read the other linked article, and it looks like Microsoft will give players the option only to play other XBL players.
