Ok, Sony said you would be able to play ps3-games. To me there is no virtualizing. They would need an emulation of the ps3 in some way to make this scalable which I don't see. They will, in my opinion, need exactly one ps3 for every user who wants to play a ps3-game. There is no "sharing" as the hardware is too specific, Cell and

I totally agree.  I would love to see how Sony is able to have Gaiikai play PS3 games when they get the system setup.  The only way I can see them doing this is to have a PS3 setup also for each gamer as emulation would be too slow.  I can see racks of PS3s within a datacenter who knows, with the XI basically being a PC , MS might actually be literally creating Xi ranks within their datacenters so developers will have 3 of those babys for each XI sold.

They don't need the whole ps3 ofcourse, racks of ps3 motherboards networked together would be sufficient. Big promise anyway, huge expenditure. Maybe not needed for all games, can psn games run on an emulator perhaps?
I would not want to use it for gt5 or wipeout HD or anything else that requires quick responses. Lag would kill those games. Maybe they're banking on people quickly getting bored of it... E3 can't come soon enough.
