oh wait now I think I get it, do you think that people happen to have broadband in their homes for gaming... but don't already have some system attached to it? like no PC/Console? That people just have been paying for a broadband sub in their home wishing there was something they could attach to it to stream games out of? That makes sense then.

I think what you're doing here is making the same mistake nearly every forum user and every article on this subject makes: 'We the gamer, on forums like this, make up the majority of the audience for gaming content.'

I'm sorry, but we are a drop in the ocean, a sad little blip on the radar, nothing compared to the majority of people out there who enjoy games on laptops, pads, phones ... etc. PSNow is NOT for us. I have 7 friends with broadband and only 2 of them use it for gaming. You'd be surprised how big the internet is! Hell, you even get people using broadband just to go on Facebook! Shocking, I know, but that's the reality. MORE people use broadband for none gaming purposes ... a hell of a lot more.

I'd also like to point out that I don't have broadband for gaming either. I HATE online play.
