Yes, and thats why they have such a big debt. Onlive was sold for $5 million, so these idiots from Sony paid 375 million dollars too much. |
Do you even know what you're talking about? Buying OnLive would've costed Sony around 40m with their debt included. Setting up the servers for Sony products would require another couple millions. OnLive had only 3 data distribution centres while Gaikai had 24. Gaikai had many partnerships with other companies while OnLive had none. You should read about its CEO and how he chased away their partners. Overall Gaikai had much better streaming and compression.
Its better for Sony to invest in a healthy company than a rotting one, investing in the rotting company would create Sony an unnecessary competitor Gaikai, so with their purchase they eliminated any threat.
