As much as backwards compatibility is convenient, i'm happy both MS/Sony moved towards x86. I'd like to hope Nintendo will move towards the same standard architecture as well, but i expect they will keep themselves isolated in their own unified ecosystem :/
If both Sony and MS stick with x86 (like i hope they do), we could potentially see it make a return in the 9th gen. |
Know what would be cool? If PSNow allowed you to play games you already own. Like say if I wanted to play Shadow of the Colossus I would just put the disc in and stream it over PSNow. Would that even be possible? I am not too tech savvy when it comes to stuff like that.

It would certainly be possible, but i expect it's an issue of cost. Sony will be/are spending a lot of money building the servers and streaming the games, so doing it for free would cost them a lot.
It would be nice if they could meet people in the middle though. Maybe give you a few "free" game redeems or discounts etc, something of that fashion.
PNow could potentially be the perfect replacement for backwards compatibility in the 8th gen, but we will have to wait and see how things go with the pricing, both at and following the launch.
