That's an interesting question. On one hand having PSNow on the X1 would put it on equal grounds with any other platforms with the service, but it would also give PlayStation a direct window into the Xbox playbase. If someone really enjoyed games like GOW, TLOU or Uncharted, they may be inclined to buy a PS4 to play their successors.

I believe Sony's final ambition is to have all their games available in the cloud.  Instead of buying a PS4 to play the sequels of the games you mentioned, people would just subscribe to PSNow and that's what could worry MS.  Microsoft also has a cloud agenda.

 

They are both eventually going in the same direction so who will hurt who is not settled yet as there are way too many problems that have to be solved to make game streaming a substitution for your local console.

Agreed.  Everything about cloud services is still 5 to 10 years away from being definitive.

I just think whoever establishes its service first will be in advantage when the infrascructure is ready.
