PS Now is the future model for all of gaming whether we like it or not. I think it's going to be streaming services vs streaming services. PS Now, MS Anywhere and Nintendo Go. Games on any device anywhere, anytime you want them. |
Its not that simple..... at the end of the day, its still cheaper and more marketably viable to sell a box that runs games than to have those "boxes" on a server somewhere. Besides, even if the world has a high enough internet bandwith to support it, the whole set up will pretty much make certain genres impossible to work consistently. Games have a hard enough time running netcode right now, which is basically control input. Add a video and audio stream to that and then competitive multiplayer then you have all sorts of problems.
