Unless they are gonna do something dramatic with the prize I wouldn't see the point of a superficial redesign. 

Mayb in 2014 we'll see a $99 PS3 when gaikai launches (Playstation 3G)
-No disc drive
-32GB flash memory
-Cloud streaming
-3months PS+

Interesting idea. I wonder if Sony would want to keep Gaikai "exclusive" to PS4, and Vita, at least for some time. I mean, we still don't know how it's gonna really work, will there be new games' releases there, or only for providing "backwards compatibility" of sorts?

If it would be the former, let's say PS4 games would also get gaikai releases with possible better graphics if you have sufficent enough internet connection. So pretty much what Onlive was(is?) that you can have a old ass computer and play the latest games on it if internet allows.

If that would be the case then of course I don't see them doing it, cause that would be undercutting the PS4, and cannibalising its sales. But if it would be the latter, then it seems like a good idea. It would be pretty much a shell, that comes up let's say some hardware required for streaming, and enough to get the UI smooth, not even the PS3's actual hardware, with two controllers, that could stream all the library of the PS3.

They've confirmed its coming to ps3 next year, before it even comes to Vita. I assume it will come to PS4 first though.

I don't think it will cannabalise its sales because I assuming ps3 streaming will be limited to ps3 games. They've gon into details but they specifically referenced ps3 games at the sony conference.
