Lmao. To be honest when I learned about Playstation Now, I was totally sold on a PS4 until I learned it was a stupid rental service where they want people to pay full price to "RENT" a download for a few months or pay something stupid like $2.99 for a couple of hours of play. If it was a flat fee of maybe $20 per month to play all of the old PS1, PS2, and PS3 stuff I would have gotten a PS4 in a heartbeat but it's not even close to that. All it is, is a massive moneygrab by Sony because their 1st party games sell like crap for the most part. EA Access is exactly what I was looking for when it came to PS Now. I pay EA $30 for the year, and they give me a bunch of relatively new games to play.
As an admitted Nintendo Fanboy, I always get whatever Nintendo makes, and then I pick one other console every generation for my other stuff, and then maybe late in the generation I get the last one dirt cheap. Right now I look at Sony and all I see is a company riding the coat tails of Microsofts screw ups in the past year to bring in sales, and when I look at Microsoft I see a company doing everything they can to make a great console. I wouldn't be shocked one bit if this generation basically is just the reverse of last gen for this reason. PS4 / Wii start out extremely hot and sell a ton of consoles but over time lose a ton of steam because the Wii U, Xbox One / PS3, Xbox 360, start pumping out hit game after hit game, and very quickly the tables turn. That could all change if Sony gets on top of their game and makes some killer apps, but I'm just not seeing it right now.
