Future: Prefer a PS4 or current PS3 to be PS4/PS5 compatible?

I think the lag issues will become less severe in the future.

I don't think single player 1080p high definition gaming would be much of a problem by then. (720p can locally also be upscaled to 1080p by your PS3 with lower bandwidth)

The main problems I expect with regard to online multi-player lag. But with local server centers I think there won't be much of an issue here, however if you are in Europe and want to play with people in the US, there will probably be an unfair lag for you. Maybe the option would be to create a co-ordinating global server center which tries to synchronize for the worst case scenario lag so there will not be unfair competition. Internet + device output lag should not be more than 100ms though for a fast paced game.

Personally I do believe cloud gaming has a promising future and it fits Ken's vision with regard to the PS3 and beyond. Sony has many headquarters operating globablly.
