What is happening in your mind is that you think you have it all figured out and it is the universal truth... unless you think Sony was lying when they said PS3/PS2/PS1 games only.

Well I'll put it this way...

Sony will move PS4 games to PSNow. It's not a matter of "if", but "when".

Either that, or they'll be seen issuing another apology to shareholders as to why they let their competitors get a foothold in an emerging market, while they were intent on keeping their games on a hardware platform (once again, short-signtedness. Be thankful you're not running your favourite company into the ground by working for them). Steam is headed in this direction, Microsoft is absolutely more than likely incorporating similar services in their Azure platform (ie. the platform that's able to already run Windows apps across web platforms, including non-Windows OSes, but I guess you thought that will "never happen"too, huh?)

Having worked in the software development industry for 15 years now, I'm more confident of where business is not only heading, but intends to head with software solutions in the near future. It's required in our area to keep up with those kinds of things, in order to keep development knowledge relevant. The thought that my mind was going to be changed by someone on a random forum on the premise of "Sony said they wouldn't" is laughable to say the very least...

So we should be thankfull for your enlighted vision as dev? Maybe you were the head of THQ?

You seem to forget that even before Xbox original MS always had their studio releasing games on Windows Platform, so your logic doesn't connect... but let you be happy... maybe in 5 years, 1 month earlier than PS5 releases, PS4 games get streamed and you can say you won because it got streamed before PS5... as you said its a matter of "when" and like that if it happens in 10 years you can still be right, if it never happens you can say "wait a little longer".
