Once they got a wiff of Gaikai they wanted in. :)

Totally different of course.

Streaming is where everyone will go eventually, that way they can monetize backwards compatibility much better.

Gaikai is, first and foremost, a better way to make money than backwards compatibility,

Come on, bro. Seriously, Gaikai is proving itself to be the safer route with the cloud right now for gaming emulation. Theres no other direction its going to go this gen once Sony proves its value.

huh?  thats exactly what i said... we are agreeing.

its not sony proving its worth though.  People already know its worth, its obvious... they are just waiting for the right set of circumstances.

its a cash cow for the gaming companies.  its not about customer service.

Exactly, and Sony was the one thinking of its value since they aren't into doing backwards compatibility any longer. Microsoft is going to "research" it now. Unlike Microsoft Sony has three generations of hits though, so I really don't know what Microsoft is really going to emulate outside of a handful of franchises. Maybe if they throw in Rares titles, maybe that spread out the first party emulation value.
