My question is how can Playstation become a service?

What would keep Activision or Ubisoft from creating their own "app" and selling their games directly without needing Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo?

Well neither of them supports Nintendo already, so... but yup nothing would stop them of doing that and that's why gaming will suck soon. I'm getting physical games like crazy to become retro-only gamer. I won't be part of this


I know, my point is that it looks like they will no longer need hardware makers, they will create their Activision, EA or Ubisoft steam and you will be able to download the games to any ipad, laptop or smart tv.

Bingo. It has already started with EA Access and Ubisoft looking into following them. The big companies will end up with their own streaming services. The age of making better games and getting the most out of the hardware to lure customers will be over. Back to coin op type practices, now with mediocre streaming quality.
