The question then would be how many. Renting the space is the first part. Next would be to provide the actual servers. How much space and how many locations will also be a factor. The software to run the servers I know they are using openStack but Sony is customizing it for themselves which will require a lot of development time. There is a lot of stuff that goes into a cloud base service like this and having the infrastructure already makes a big difference. Anyway, this is all speculation at this point until Either company lauch their service. I will be watching this area as its something I work with all the time.
