I know Sony desperatly needs to monetize the PSN, but this would cannibalize their software sales. I don't think this is a clever move for them.

this was my concern for MS and Sony too... surely any integration of Onlive just reduces income for them from the main profit driver... the games themselves.

Have to wait and see how it works but I dont get the financials of it right now.

1. Revenue sharing between Onlive and the console maker

2. Any game available on both PS3 and OnLive is going to be a much better experience on PS3, because of bandwidth limits, connection issues and wanting to own the game and its data yourself. The games people will use OnLive for are the games that they'd run on PC if  they had a good enough PC.
