This problem is not confined to console play. Same for PC. With Crossplay OFF i cannot launch a game in Australia. With crosplay ON I have no problems getting a game to launch although not sure where the server is. In PC only for Portal most of the time the Ping is greater than 160 indicating Asian servers. Typical ping for me on BFV is 13-16. Seems like matchmaking for PC only or Console only is not working or is it that people can't be bothered to play a lacklustre game?
Thanks to everyone who shared their abysmal non-crossplay matchmaking experiences. I have updated my original post with a summary of all of the comments that have been received so far.
