Streaming can not replace real backwards compatibility and is not a viable options for at least half of American.

No streaming service can become widespread in the USA until either countless billions are spent on high speed infrastructure in rural areas or some kind of new technology replaces current broadband standards.

The USA is huge and spread out. Half of Americans don't have access to true highspeed.

I really doubt Sony bought Gaikai for Backwards compatibility only.

Note that I said backwards compatibility "and" not viable for half of American. I then went on to explain taht streaming requires too fast of internet speed for half America.

Streaming may be the future, but that future won't come to every American household for 20 or 40 years unless something unexpected happens.
