I hope this means a service similar to Gaikai on PS4. Although since MS is building this from the ground up I don't expect it anytime soon (2015? maybe)

Building from the ground up?

It's the other way around.  I simply dont see how Sony can have the infrastructure for a competent online service like this, if demand is very high.

MS unquestionably has the infrastructure and keeps on adding.  they announced about another $4bn spend on data centres in the last few months alone.

 

Sigh, Sony has more then enough infrastructure to support cloud gaming, Haikai works great. Any proof?

 

Sigh, where can I test Gaikai now? The infrastructure is so ready and enough that it only starts in US first, in 2014. There are many open jobs on Gaikai homepage...
