I have a feeling this streaming service will be leagues ahead of Gakai, since MS are behind it. It will probably be like the situation of XBLA vs. PSN at the beginning of this generation, if not a bigger leap. And yes, I am a big MS supporter, but their experience in this area is second-to-none.

A rumoured service, again rumoured for 2015 from MS, is a big leap ahead of a demonstrated service confirmed for launch in 2014 from Sony? Seems pretty unlikely.

The thing is you forget MS has a much longer history than what we hear now. They have servers in every corner of the world and are first and foremost a software company with lots of competence in that area.
