Why would it have to be ps4 games?  


Then what?


Well, lets trace this subject back to its origin, shall we?  Somebody said what is stopping sony from making a game exclusive to psnow.  Meaning that game would always need to be online in order to play it.  

You said not possible as it is ps3 infrastucture and all ps3 games are available at retail...

however, that does not stop new games from being made that are exclusive to the psnow program.  Just because it is starting out as a service for old ps3 games doesnt mean it will always be that way.  In fact, it is pretty much guaranteed that as time goes on they will upgrade their infrastructure and add more games that havent been on any sony console before.  

One even more likely example would be regional exclusive games being put on psnow.  If somebody doesnt want to pay the huge cost of importing a game, psnow would be their only option.  Which would require that game being always online.

The door is WIDE open for sony to use their cloud service to require online as well. 


Of course there cloud service requires online, because it streams games over the internet.
But the day they use it to process thingymabobs in a native game, we will question and analyse their motives as well.
Right now, all Gaikai is, is for ps now to stream old games to various devices, and stream ps4 games to vita.

nothing more
