When Onlive came out, it was met with widespread criticism and pessimism. The service has failed to gain significant ground in the market.

Playstation Now, despite being pretty much the exact same service, is being hailed and praised.

What's going on here? What makes Playstation Now different?

In my view, there's nothing different. It's just that people are fans of Sony and are really eager to help them succeed.

I don't know, perhapse people want to play really old games they can get cheap?  Or something else...?
