Which is a non-issue when we talk about streaming... the client device doesn't have to be powerful. So why not PSNow (with PS3 + PS4 games) and Project Xcloud (Xbox games) and Shadow (PC games) streamed on Switch? |
Most likely Sony gets its ass kicked in the "streaming" wars by the real big boys, which are Google and Microsoft. Probably Netflix or Apple will also try to get in with their own service.
Once physical hardware goes away, the game market that you guys are arguing about is pretty much gone, it's never going to be the same again after that and there's a fat chance in hell Sony can in the long term compete against a company like Google. Even Microsoft, XBox as a physical hardware brand is just a fun side hobby for MS that they don't take that seriously, but a streaming service would be central to their Cloud business and would have the full backing and full weight of MS' board of directors. That means they'd be able to outspend Sony like crazy and that's a very different beast from what Sony deals with now.
