- Release big console to much fanfare/sales

- Make console redundant a few months later by announcing cloud service that can play exclusives on any device...

 

 

It plays PS3 games, not PS4 games.  So your second point is incorrect.  


What is stopping it from playing PS4 games? Sony's decision?

If it can stream PS3 games, then PS4 is certainly NOT out of the question....

What else do you think? Of course Sony is the one not allowing it. PS4 has to sell well this generation. This service is meant to be a way to bring BC to consoles and various devices, not canibilize the current gen sales :S

You're looking at it from a negative perspective. 

How about: instant increased userbase from other platforms? More control over software distribution?

Why do you think many services are becoming cloud based lately? If there is profit in it for Sony, they will go that route, most certainly at the expense of hardware...
