I think this conversation has gotten needlessly complicated, let me just try to answer your earlier questions. "Is PSNow out yet?" Yes and no, it is currently in an open beta but hasn't fully launched. I believe the full launch (as well as a Netflix style subscription option) will be in the first half of 2015. "Why give it to your competition?" (not your question, I know, but one worth answering) The easy answer is that it is probably worth more to Sony to have a larger audience for it's streaming services than have it be exclusive to Sony TVs. "Is it a huge success?" We don't really know yet, but as it hasn't been fully launched, there really isn't anything to know. "why will it be successful?" Well, it has a good chance of being sucessful because it's the first service of it's kind that really works an offers a compelling product. It's also an easily acessable way for people to get into gaming who otherwise might not. "who is this meant to cater to?" Mostly people who aren't hardcore gamers, people who would enjoy gaming, but can't justify spending the hundreds of dollars required to get into it. Also, people who play mobile games who want an easy, convienent way to try new types of games. And people who got rid of their older Playstations but want to replay some of their old favorites. "Why is this a sure thing?" It's not, but it's got a much better chance than anything else like it that come along.
Not trying to argue or anything, just hoping to clear up any confusion. Feel free to ask more questions though. |
Well we are on the same page then
