We are not going to play PS4 games in Playstation now, just PS1-PS3 and its meant a way to allow people to play their classics in any device in future without need of the hardware because the old hardware is discontinued after 10 years so we don't have PS1/PS2 now and also its meant for people who want to play their games anywhere without taking the hardware with them. This is future proof strategy and after 10 years we are going to see this as a medium for our classics.

Isn't it better to make people buy a Vita and PS4 for that?

in the end it just adds more reason to own those consoles rather than not having them as a reason.

less reason to own something means less hardware sales. sure you can't get PS4 games yet but who knows if you might be able to get those games in two years time?

this strategy actually makes me believe that there won't be a PS5 since they can easily stream everything. this is probably just a test to see how well it works and if it goes well which I think it will then they will stop production of the PS line and go software only

This service has not started yet and they just confirmed only to US for now with only PS3(first party mostly) to be streamed to PS4/Vita this year and also they want this only for Classics in future to provide a way to users to play them without hardware as a forever way to enjoy their games. Still they have a long way to go to add the support of PS1,PS2 and later to bring service to Europe and other regitons then Tablets/PC devices support. And they will never gonna stream PS4 games as they are not stupid to do that and hurt their currently selling hardware. Also consumers are smart as we know that Streaming is not going to provide what a real hardware does with our current Internet technology everywhere(due to latency, speeds, bandwidth caps, not affordable in many countries etc.,). Please do some research before you commnet as ive explained it cleary but stil you think that Sony is stupid with this Playstaion now service as they trying to cash in and gonna lose hardware sales due to this. Sony always tried to provide more value with their hardware, service, games etc., to consumers and never attempted to for quick cash in like others who does.

Well, they will stop Playstation hardware only if the people don't want want new hardware and we have very good internet connectivity at affordable rates globally. They cant force us to subscribe to this service by stopping the hardware and consumers will not support just like what happened with Xbox one always online. I'm sure that Sony always listens to gamers and developers, so its up to us to decide about the hardware to be stopped.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.
