If Sony made their own OS and if it could play PS4 games would you use it??.

the future of gaming is current games playable on release day via multiple devices. Psnow may become that but I doubt it has that scalability or potential.

What? Not the scalability? Wait a min, I would whole heartily disagree with that for the sheer reason on Sony's invested interests in AndroidOS

 

For the simple fact that right now PlayStation now is on smart TV's and its made to run on Android OS from the start. Playstation Vue is now on smart Devices such as : Amazon fire stick & player, chrome cast, iPad, iPhone & iPod touch along with The PS3 & PS4. Soon to be included into Android TV's that already in samsungs case has playstation now just like sonys own smart TV's.

The main point is AndroidTV is the default OS for smart TV's mainly by the looks of it Windows OS & Apples iOS will not be going into the smart TV for quite a while if ever. Android OS is the main OS & Sony is scaling playstation network services to be included.

 

I pointed this out before while Microdoft & Sony and Nintendo are all trying to put a box under the TV, Sony is taking the very TV itself & infusing PlayStation into it right on the TV. Stream content from one single playstation to any smartTV you have in your house. Or stream Gaikai to any smartTV or streaming box.

 

If that's not scalability , I do not know what is..lol

I thought that was a very odd comment as well.  I always tell people I bought GOW3 remaster and got GOW1&2 90 day rentals for free

I thought maybe he meant stability and I was skeptical of psnow but was amazed how well it worked.  It was as if I had the disc in my ps4. Granted I live in a large market and might live near a server hub or something but my goodness it worked very well indeed.  

It definitely has scalability and it has great potential. The thing to be seen is whether it realizes its potential.
