| Michelasso said: I think the main idea behind it is to have Sony putting a foot in all possible gaming markets tying customers to the PSN. Consoles (and PC gaming) as we know them now may disappear in the future. The challenge will be on the networks. Once one already have a PSN subscription can easily download (or stream) games from it on tablets instead than from Google Play. If streamed one just needs a tablet with low specs, all computing power will be on servers. But there is no way that PS4 games will run on tablets. Unless specifically made for them as well. |
So you think Sony will shift from a console-developer to a company offering a service (PSN in this case)? Well, could happen! Perhaps not a total shift but definitely a parallel offer in the market. They could make a lot of money if they offer "old" PS1,2,3-games via Gaikai to platforms that are not made by Sony.
I would prefer Android especially if I was Sony - given that I will buy Ouya it could happen again that I pay for something Sony offers.
