You're vastly underestimating brand loyalty and familiarity as a factor when choosing systems to purchase. Sony peeps are not going to stop using Sony consoles because of something like this, especially those that also rely on it as their main entertainment hub (vid streaming, blu-ray, gaming, etc).

Don't get me wrong, crossplay is great. But Sony isn't doing anything MS wasn't doing when they were on top and Sony was playing nice with the whole idea.
