1. PSNow will cost them money to run, bonus or not. The streaming will actually be incredibly expesive as well as maintaining the servers necessary to run everything. Fact of the matter is if it doesn't take off and get them returns it will be very short-lived unless they want even more disasters in their portfolio which they cannot afford at this point.

2.  (Also correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Share Play only for Co-Op stuff? 

  1. Ok, I will try and explain this. PSnow is currently running on existing servers. Its not something they think everyone will be using all the time. It uns on servers that are designed to handle the PSN. What primarily pays for those servers is PS+ and digital sales. PSnow is possible today and feasable for sony cause PS+ is kinda mandatory now. When people pay for PSnow content, that will pretty much be a bonus. I don't know how else to explain this to you. 

  2. Yes you are wrong. SP isn't for only co-op games. You can let anyone on your friends list play anygame you have. Games don't even have to be coded specifically to use it. Its a system wide feature and not a game by game feature. Basically, your console just runs the games and sends out the video feed to your firned over your internet while reciving ur friends controller inputs over  the net to replace with would have been your controller inputs.
