EA Access is selling consoles confirmed.

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.

You shouldn't compare PSNow to other services since there is none like it.

In PSNow games are streamed which means you don't have to load gigabites of data before you can play. It's not meant to be used indefinitely. It is meant for the short fun of either an evening with friends or maybe a few days to see if you like the game or maybe to play it through in that time. Also on the PS4 it will let you play games that you won't be able to play on PS4 any other way.

So yeah, PSNow is completely different from PS plus or EA access. Different technology, different target consumer, different use cases, different prices.
