IMO Playstatio now will work just like PS plus(maybe integrated?).New games will not be part of the service, just the 1+ years old games.

1+ year old games? Bioshock Infinite came out last March and PS+ got it last month. I would think Playstation Now would act like Netflix, where it gets a lot of old games and some new (as recently as 6 months).

Films are not shown in theatres for more than 6 months.  That's a significant difference vs. new games which sell alot of copies in first year.
This isn't about Sony's own agenda.  The offerings for PS+ are based on what ALL publishers (and indy devs) will accept.

Obviously we can see that indy devs are more willing to accept going onto PS+ immediately, because that's profitable with their cost base.

AAA games cannot do that, and that's why they don't put their newest games onto PS+.

Soooo, why was Bioshock Infinite put on PS+ so soon? And then how do you explain Gamefly? Your logic doesn't hold up.
