Eventually the service will expand beyond PlayStation platforms and Sony devices
This is the most interesting part of the announcement.
Non-Sony devices will get this service.
I understand why.
You wont be able to buy ps4 games on your samsung device, but why not ps3 games?
The people this is aimed at are either paying to play these games on their samsung tablet or they wont play them at all. That are the people sony is aiming.
Gamers will go for the ps4 and the newest games.
And this way sony might lure non-gamers in to the ps4 and other devices of themselfs, if non-sony consumers are enjoying their sony software service on non-sony devices.
This might be a smart move indeed.
Sony tries to use something they have that their competition like samsung, apple, panasonic and others dont have in this extend: software, not only games but movies and music too.
