People seem to think that streaming games to mobile devices are a serious threat to Sony. Here's a couple of things they don't realize.
1. Just to stream PS3 games at 720p you need 8 Mbps just to get a decent image.
2. The average US consumer's internet speed is only 18 Mbps.
3. The majority of people living in the USA don't have 18 Mbps. The average is increased by a minority that have much better internet than that.
4. 1080p is 2.5 times larger than 720p.
5. I'm not a tech junkie, but I'm willing to bet that it takes 2.5 as much internet speed to go from 720 streaming to 1080 streaming.
6. ISPs are slowly moving towards charging customers by the gigabyte, or putting caps on data, in the USA.
