You seem to have no understanding that technology is not broken up in generations. It is an ever evolving thing. By me saying PSNow could be the 'next gen' it would not be the PS5 per se, but it would be the 'next gen'. There would be no direct release as it's already released and is already evolving, growing and expanding. 

Anyway, you don't seem to understand how much of this work, that's fine. I strongly urge you to do some research into it. However as far as this conversation is concerned, it's over. I'm moving on, I suggest you do as well. 

Nope it's the other way around, I understand all of this perfectly and am well versed in how all of this works, from the business/financial side, to the technological capabilities side. FYI no there are always going to be generations of technology, there's always a new generation of Processor, even in a cloud based environment, it is how it will always be.

Of course there would be a release date, because there's a moment where the technology is rolled out to the public, but this notion that there won't be any physical hardware in people's homes is a flawed one, because of the business/financial side being a very undesireable one.

You can't even deal with the points I made about just how much processing power is required to make a next gen cloud gaming system work for a few million people, as I said it's in the realms of 20-40TFlops per user, with at least 5 million X that available to the whole network, purely because network strain has to be accounted for. Minimum of 100,000 Petaflops processing power is required for this.

The next gen service would absolutely be "rolled out" on a particular, it's not out at this point, it would be PSNow 2.0 or PS Cloud and Sony would have to make it as capable a system as they can.

 

I suggest you actually learn about this stuff, I'm well researched on it thanks.
