Honestly, that article is kind of wrong on several details, it acts like crossplay is something new. Considering ps has had crossplay games for a while now, it kind sounds like a paid ad for microsoft.
It will be completely new for MS. Before now, there was never any chance / hope for an Xbox and PC cross play due to MS policies. Even for the first 5 months after NW was announced for XB1, there was zero chance of porting your toon over. Its probably too far down the road for NW, but future games have the chance for cross play on the XB1.
It is kinda sad that they're touting cross play as a fantastic advance in gaming, but it is a big deal to open the capability to half of the next gen consoles out now ( assuming about a half / half split between ps4 and xb1).
It's more like transporting someone from the middle ages to the modern world and having them admit that throwing a chamber pots contents out the window might not be the best solution, but flush toilets are still the work of the devil.
