This will be interesting.. but I doubt it will outcompete the Wii U, even if it is more powerful..

Looks like Sony has some competition for their cloud based streaming service.

The 50+ launch games, including Crysis 3, are all running directly on the console. The streaming serivce is in addition to the native gaming support.


Crysis 3 running on an andriod console?

Somebody answer this person please, but if it's just the latter, I will not get it, I have a shitty internet speed.

Nvidia should really stick to PC...

This is quite interesting. I wonder how much support this will have! Also, 1080p 60fps cloud subscription service. How interesting that Nvidia is doing this too
