Actually Sony could block PS3 games, allowing only streaming games that aren't on PS3 (you could play Halo, Gears of War or Diablo 3). I'm not sure about the legal implications of that.
Another possibilities:
- Allowing Vita owners to stream PS3 games or PS3 owners to stream Vita games that they've bought. You buy Marvel VS. Capcom on Vita and they allow you to stream the PS3 version. You'll be paying for that, OnLive gets a share, Sony gets a share and Capcom gets a share (it's their game).
- Allowing the stream of PS3 games on a PS4 , solving the lack of backward compatibility and making the console less expensive by removing components included for this reason. This extra components really costs a lot. Removing them and selling a cheaper console would make a lot of sense.

Why should Microsoft publish their games on onlive? They don't. You can't play them at all on onlive.
So if Sony blocks games that are available on PS3 as well, you basically kill 95% of the games available on onlive. Who would pay a monthly subscription for that?

Correct, they shouldn't. And they won't. But, Sony could make a nice service:
- Play PS3 games on Vita
- Vita games on PS3
- Play demos without downloading
- Rent PS3/Vita games
Of course, we would pay for this service. But sounds like a good deal (for us and for Sony too).
