I think the demo of Halo 4 streaming to a tablet is the writing on the wall. This will probably be the last actual console generation. Sony is trying to get into their own paywall system. To do that, they can't be limited to 50-100 million consoles. They need the 1 billion devices (# of smartphones/tablets being sold this year alone) that are out there. Those devices are multiplying every year and so are their capabilities. I agree that they would like to keep it proprietary, but they are also looking at the long term too. |
Wasn't that streaming locally? When I tried OnLive, I was never really impressed, but let's see what Sony can manage with Gaikai in the short term. Obviously, the Wii U has shown that local streaming can be achieved effectively
