Wow, for anyone who doubts that this is the future, please look towards Steam. It's not going to happen in 5 years, but I'll be shocked if our console ecosystem exists like it does now in 13-14 years.

Steam is great. Aslong as I can download games onto a hard disk I'm happy going digital. Streaming is just not going to cut it though. I haven't tried PS Now as it's not available in Australia but I can't imagine it ever becoming lag free.

I imagine they'd intergrate together. Where you can do the current streaming for an amount of time, or play off the cloud as it downloads and installs to allow for seamless purchase and play.

That doesn't seem to be what Sony is suggesting. I think Steam is the future. Open platform with digital distribution.
