Cell-based servers are cheap, so they are not taking a big risk.

That said, only US plus cloud gaming bandwith problems will not make it really effective before 2015/16


why are cell based servers cheap?

i thought cell chips are pretty expensive etc?

Gaikai may become a real good thing for poorer countries/people.A games flatrate for 5-10 dollar a month could save lots of money becauseyou can play for the price of 1-2 games the whole year. 

There were a lot of case where scientist bought 10-100 of ps3 to make servers with them, because it was cheaper to interconnect ps3 than buying servers for the same performance. A lot cheaper. The real cell power is when you make hundreds of them working together.
