If my English understanding is right, then 'catching up' means one already have done something and the other is following him in the same path to 'catch him'. Sony now owns Gaikai, what does Microsoft has? Who is playing catch up in reality?

MS allready has the infrastructure. They just didnt reveal anything to us. Time isnt right yet. 

Sony had to blow 380 million just to be on the same level as MS. Thing is Sony shouldnt be spending right now either. 

 

And I have a crystal ball with wish granting fairies......I just haven’t shown anyone yet.  Bottom line is that MS haven’t revealed anything which means they have nothing. Sure they have an infrastructure in place that should be able to support cloud gaming but what good is it if they aren't using it. Sony just purchased an up and running company that works very well. This makes it very easy for them to integrate what they just purchased into their already up and running infrastructure while making a return on their investment immediately through sales. MS have yet to show any streaming service for games. As for Nintendo, they are so far behind on the online front it's almost better for them to stay out. Unless they come strong and offer everything MS and Sony have already day one for WiiU. This is a very inexpensive purchase for Sony with some very big opportunities. Not only can they use the service for the PS3/4, they can use it as is for streaming games on the PC, Cell phones, Tablets etc. It fits pretty well into their current mobile platform push.

 

 

Im not gonna get into this yet again. But that bold is among the most ignorant statements ive read in a while.

A corporation can keep secrets.....they can have things in the works and not announce it until they see fit. Lol why would this news even exist that Sony is playing catch up if MS had nothing? lol gimme a break. 

Its funny how people here think corporations are now all of a sudden supposed to be free and 100% open with their plans.
