While i get what you're saying, if Sony thought they could have made more money by going to Cloud-based system, i'm sure they would have fully implemented that instead of the Ps4 we have now. Also with PSnow, They'll probably have Ps++ (or some other moniker), that gives the subscriber access to multiplayer, free games, and the huge back catalog they've built up over the last 20 years.

Like I said, they'd have seen the reason to build a PS4 as a fallback. For starters, not every country will be able to stream gaming content. That requires internet with decent latency.
It could explain why it took so long for either Sony or Microsoft to announce this gen (longer than usual), because they were weighing up their options.
I'd say PSNow will incorporate PS+ functionality (not fully, but it will be similar). Multiplayer games will just be one massive server instance with multiple views transmitted to players, which will eliminate a lot of crosstalk between instances of games, as well as eliminate cheating.

Don't forget that even after buying Gaikai and deciding the project for quite some time (years) just now they will release in USA and in Europe they just say the internet isn't good enough.
|
Not good enough now, but how many countries are in the process of fixing this? Just like what's been happening the past 15 years, you'll see internet adapting pretty damn quickly to the demand of corporate interests...
To say that PS4 on PSNow "will not happen" is just plain short-sightedness...
|
It will happen after PS4 is strong enough when PS5 get released.
|
Or several other factors...
Once again, just saying it wont happen isn't reason enough, especially when money is involved..
