They spent money with their cash reserves and they have been investing a lot recently and all investments are considered to be good investments going into the future.

TO play catch up there should be something for sony to catch up to..there really isn't anything other than this PR. That's not playing catch up at all. Unless you have some form of info on the matter that is. Gaikai and Onlive are already operational businesses/tech. The one that is still not operational is the one playing catch up by definition. Guess who that is

Sony should be building their reserves about now....but I digress. 

A corporation doesnt have to reveal its plans just because we want to. We aren't even investors and even they get left in the dark until the corporation sees fit to announce something. If you think MS has nothing in the cloud department you got another thing coming...and they didnt blow 380 much needed millions to get it. 

No of course MS built it for free, with their free slave labour. It probably cost them absolutely nothing to develop this phantom streaming service.

Seriously, the reason Sony probably made the Gaikai investment was because they probably felt it might actually cost them more to build a system like this from the ground up themselves. Not to mention they could end up being seriously behind the trend by the time they were finished and brought their own service to market. That is why some are considering this a good investment, Sony get all the resources and the experience that Gaikai bring to the industry and immediately have a foot in the door with some proven tech.
