The idea is good but i don't think it's going to take off.
PS3 games are still too fresh to be something worthy of investing money in. Had Sony offered PS1 and PS2 games... now that would be a different story!
Some people wouldn't mind reliving games from their childhood or youth; overall, a much better proposition.

Are people ready to stream games with the danger of delays and hiccups?
Hiccups in a movie... acceptable. There's no interaction.
In a game? It matters and i don't think that the majority of people have the broadband connection required to avoid that.

this is more geared towards people that never owned a PS3 and don't plan to buy one for a few games they were interested in

and I think most people have good enough bandwith for game streaming, the server capacity and connection stability are more or a concern

After almost 9 years on the market, how many people who want one haven't bought one?
When this service goes worldwide, that number will shrnk even more. That's why i think that offering something that the market isn't offering already would be a better solution as there's no competition to divide people.

I always heard that one of the dangers of streaming something is the delay. If that comes from not so good internet connections or server flaws... what matters is if in the end the service is as flawless as possible and how many people (worldwide) can actually use it in a way to be satisfied with the service.

So far, OnLive tried and without success. If Sony can avoid those issues you mentioned, then the service might have a future.
