| Sal.Paradise said: OnLive is a fully set up streaming delivery service, with retail hardware boxes, controllers and games out there for people to buy. Gaikai has the tech (and better tech - better image quality, better server coverage especially in Europe and a partnership with Nvidia tech that is resulting in the lowest latency on the market) but is still smaller and only offer demo streaming from their website. I believe it was a company made to be bought out at some stage, not to operate on its own like OnLive. |
ah ok so it isn't so expensive because it did not really make money until now and onlive is making money right now so if you only need the tech and let's say both techs would be the same quality, onlive would be pretty useless because the tech alone you want to use isn't really worth so much.
i think microsoft should really try to start an own service then. no clue about next patent wars but paying much more for something which wouldn't be more useful for them sounds pretty much like money wasting.
and to my other question i asked in another post, have you a clue how developers will make enough money with that then if they would only get a part of the subscription costs you have to pay to sony and maybe microsoft to stream these games? an i have no clue how they will calculate that for every developer?
