For owners of a PLayStation 3, the service just isn't worth it, but I don't think Sony targeted those folks in the first place. Sure, it might be an indirect Option for backwards compatibility for PS4, but it's also too expensive. Just getting yourself a PS3 will be way cheaper. Also I think the prices will go down eventually. But I really think Sony isn't targeting the hardcore gamer here, but instead casuals. Give them the option to play all those PS3 games and get them to buy a console eventually. After all, Sony wants to sell consoles, they don't want Now to replace their hardware platforms. |
Yeah, but if they are targeting the casuals, which sounds reasonable, they will also compete with the smartphone/tablet market and those prices are way to high to compete, especially if you also need to get a controller separately to play. I sure hope these are more like placeholders or pricing, because they are ridiculous.
