Just read this article about PS Now - Forbes

One thing it mentioned -  "It does make you wonder if we'll ever even see a PS5, however. If PS Now works as well as advertised, the next Sony console might just be a subscription and a controller."

My colleague agrees that there will not be a PS5 console.

My thoughts straight away for PS Now was the steaming service will be used for older games for example - When the Playstation 5 console is released, PS Now will then stream PS4 games to TV's tablets etc. 

That way it keeps everyone happy. We still have the excitement of owning hardware and discs and new customers are happy because they have access to great games at low cost

Let me know your thoughts... 

PS Now solves the BC issue and that's as far as I see it. Like you say, when PS5 releases, the broadband technology will be MUCH faster and accessible/cheaper allowing PS4 games to then be running on the service, if not already.

REALLY THO

I...take that back. I seriously hope Sony doesn't recharge people for the digital content, that would just be stupid. Although if you already own it then its as easy as popping in the disc but still. Sony needs to take a lesson from MS and learn how to unify its services. But at the same time the article states that Sony "may" recharge you for games you already own, hasn't been confirmed yet.
