Because the network protocols are still the exact same?

Are they? Why would they be? The whole point of a new console is to improve, grow, move forward. I don't understand the assumption that both generations are using new base-level programming architecture but the brand new system is using networking methods that could be ten years old already.

My whole point is not to say it's impossible, but that it's careless to say "cross-generation play faces no technological hurdles or barriers." I'm sure if it was as easy as that, we would have seen it before.
