Well I think it makes some sense depending on what Sony's plan is. So firstly, both UC4 and Bloodborne has been out for quite sometime now and I think for the most part, the people who really wanted to buy them already bought them at full price. Then you have the ps4 bundles where the base slim model comes with UC4 at no extra charge. So Sony is practically giving away UC4 for free as long as you buy a ps4 slim.

So if they put Bloodborne and UC4 on PSNow, I don't see it doing much harm to their console sales at all. Neither Sony or MS sees PC as a competitor at this point because the price/performance you get for buying a ps4/x1 can't be matched by a PC of similar specs at the same price (unless you really go digging into the used territory but thats a lot of inconvience).

In the end, I think what will happen is Sony will port 1 year old or more exclusives to PSNow and increase their subscription service user base. Also it doesn't have to be at 720p streaming, they can also do 1080p 60fps streaming for the games that supported it since GeForce Now does that already.

I still think there's no way that big and important games like UC4 will be on Ps now during this gen but we are all here talking out of our asses xD let's just wait for more detalis from Sony.

I don't think the big games will be put on PSnow right away but I do think they will be added within a year. I mean Sony has to realize the excitement of them adding PS4 games is PC players getting a chance to try the exclusives.

I'd just like to point out, because there could be correlation, that the PS4 has just had an update to allow it to use an external hard drive. I wouldn't be surprised if you'll eventually be able to download some of these games onto your PS4.

The PS5 Exists.

So in other words, I can technically play PS4 games on my PC?

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Lets see what games are included in this list, if its all thé games or just some games, and thé quality of thé connexion required( something tells me were screwed in Europe ) .

If everything woks well for everyone and has thé same liste than PS4, then PC will become thé only interesting plateforme allowing to play all games, no need for an other ( and Nintendo will follow if it Works , liké they did with online )

Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

I dont think PS Now will ever be a big deal even if you can play PS4 Exclusives now on your PC, but will they put 2-3 Year old Games like Killzone, Infamous, Order etc. on it or also newer Ones like Uncharted, Last Guardian, Horizon!?!? I dont know, we will have to see but even if, dont PC Gamers want their Games in 60 fps or more, better graphics, things like FOV Slider and also mouse + keyboard controls!?
And if im right you are not going to get this, you will be able to play the exact PS4 Version of the game with a controller and also you have to stream it which makes it even worse or some people because of bad internet wont even have the chance to do that.

I seriously doubt this will be successfull and they will make a good amount of money with it until they make REAL PC Versions, because PS Now is, that you are streaming a PS4 with X-Game to your PC and thats it. Not to mention its heavily overpriced and just streaming.

I still dont get PS Now, for me it looks like complete nonsense and how many people are really using PS Now, a few thousands of people MAYBE!?!? And in the future with PS4 Games and lets say also the newest ones right off the start i doubt this will be successfull, but hey im not leading a company like Sony and at the end i know nothing about it^^
