For one, you need a PlayStation Certified device to use it, and secondly, although speculative, my impression so far is that Sony want to make it easy for third parties to develop for both the Vita and smartphones, rather than bringing new first party games to smartphones. I think Sony's first party developers will be too busy trying to create exclusive content for Sony's own hardware, rather than PlayStation Certified devices which include hardware not made by Sony. 3) Not exclusive and the majority of games on OnLive are PC games. I could be wrong, but to my knowledge, they don't have any non-PC games in their library, and it's still missing some big games. In other words, it's not as big as you claim it is, and you still have to deal with lag. Android is doing fine, and the direction we're headed where phones/tablets become consoles, is quite awesome. But I think you're getting ahead of yourself. |
1) Way too early to tell, but I really think it would be massively stupid to not put some form of their first party titles into this Suite to try and market this crowd to later upsell and buy a Playstation console of some sort.
3) OnLive is not exclusive, I never said it was. However, it does add a lot of variety and while there are only a small initial selection of touch enabled games, if you snag their universal bluetooth controller, it opens up all of the games to you. As for lag... idk, I've only had 2nd hand experience thus far and from that I heard it was pretty good. Not equal to consoles/pcs in terms of graphics, but pretty darn close and no lag.
I will try out the demo on my phone later when I'm home, so I can use wifi, and if that works well then I'm not worried. My next phone will have 4G LTE and that is faster than wifi, so I'm good.
