I meant from a cost point of view, see I said "viable" ;) , this has to make Sony or any company that wants to do it money.

Technologically it's just a server, but PS Now uses PS3 technology, because it's cheap for them to make to build their server farms out of.

Of course Sony could make farms of GTX 980 i7 PCs for a modern high end NVidia style GRID network if they wanted, but it would be too costly and it's doubtful they've make their money back from such a huge investment.

Ok, fair enough. What I personally think Sony will do is invest as PSNow grows and creates its own profit. We're talking about an audience hundreds of times bigger than any console audience. I'd say in 2 - 3 years time we'll see a few older PS4 games launching on PSNow. This retains the selling power of PS4 games on disc/PSN and offers further incentive for the 'new' audiences who subscribe to PSNow through phones, pads, laptops, TVs or Blu-rays.
