Could PS4 and XBox Merge servers?

With Sony giving up the "selfishness" of no cross play they have allowed cross play with a few titles now including Fortnite and I am wondering what it would take for ZoS to merge the two consoles?
Would this be something you're interested in? or Would it be too big of an undertaking for ZoS to do?

✭✭✭There have been rumors of this for the last 6 months. I would love it. Could play with friends from both consoles.3 -
Would be great if they did, a PS4 v XBOX PvP campaign would be fun! Highly doubt it will happen unfortunately0 -
Mik195✭✭✭✭✭This could possibly be really horrible. This is ZOS. If they merged servers I could see them deciding that there would be one console download and instead of us seeing 40GB downloads every other month, we'd probably end up with 90GB ones (in Zosland 40+40 probably equals 90).

✭Are you asking the XBOX players come to PS4 ?
PS4 NA is pretty packed, pop locked campaigns evening and weekends, not nearly as populated as the PC but I have friends who play Xbox, I left PC ESO to play with my wife on PS4 and to get everyone together I would love to see a server merge.1 -

✭The servers are already awful on each system respectively and you want to MERGE them so we can play on a more jam packed megaserver across different networks.
I'm sorry but that's a terrible idea.Edited by lagrue on January 24, 2019 2:56AMPSN ID (NA only): Zuzu_With_a_Z

Sony and micro dont play together.
Both dont want it.
Unless something happened after Sony gave into no cross play or Microsoft out of nowhere said screw it we don't want to play with you anymore this is old new.
With one less server they could use the money it frees up to maintain it to make the mega console server better, they won't do it but its an answer to a problem.The servers are already awful on each system respectively and you want to MERGE them so we can play on a more jam packed megaserver across different networks.

✭They could not fix the lag in one of those and they want to merge it.
Its like an ant wanting to lift a house.0 -
XxCaLxX✭✭✭✭✭only way this could possibly ever happen is years from now the population got really low and sony and microsoft allowed it but consoles merging with pc will never happen for many reasons.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Is it necessary?
I played on PS4 and I am playing on Xbox now, there are plenty of players on both consoles (EU). I don't know if a merge is necessary or would benefit the overall performance of the game.

TempPlayer✭✭✭✭✭If I'm not mistaken, both Windows and Xbox are run by M$ but there is no cross-play.
I wonder who is the one actually sour about cross-play.0 -

Cross-play between PC and console doesn't make sense in a competitive environment. Mouse+Keyboard are just a lot more precise, on top of that you can use addons and mods on PC which would be another benefit.
PC + consoles wouldn't work very well but console-only cross-play does and there Sony has been the problem as of now.Edited by Seraphayel on January 24, 2019 8:55AMPS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

That would be interesting merging Cyrodiil.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Probably not as they have to merge the databases.
ESO has no way of moving characters between servers who would be required here.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

✭They need to merge all the servers regardless of geographic location, or platform0
