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

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.  

Yes, the outcome indeed has yet to be seen, but with Sony directly involved in The Android OS developments with such functionality they employ to be added, its a very good chance in my opinion that it will have great expansion into the market. For example.

When I pointed to PC that was also pointing to SteamOS mainly 1st option reading being.

Android OS's main graphics Api is Vulkan, As is SteamOS's also. Both Use Vulkan, now that of course would not exclude windows OS based PV's , because Vulkan also works in Windows OS also. But most likely due to code once port to all Vulkan devices.. If the developer would want to take advantage of DirectX12 functionality benefits under windows they may would want to tweak to use Microsoft's Api , but could very well just use Vulkan only.

Since Android & Steam and hell even Sony use Vulkan as a graphics Api.

With many games on steam now being ported to run on steamOS now also and not just windows only , having AndroidOS on top of SteamOS that are employing Vulkan would allow developers to code once and reach

Windows, steamOS, and AndroidOS devices in one fell swoop.

I agree.   Another thing I find interesting is the psvue.  I ignored this as well up until a couple months ago, I'm sad to say due to comments sections and game site writers being so negative on it, and wow, I love it!

i did the trial and immediately pulled my bills after it ended.  My service at the time totaled $70 a month more than 50/50 Internet and psvue combined would cost me. I pointed this out and the service offered a discount but were still going to be roughly $40 more a month.  This was with less features than psvue offered because it was minus DVR and one box, meaning one tv, after being a long time customer.  

My wife used the iPad to watch our old service and loved the psvue app more as well as the psvue interface being much snappier, intuitive and responsive.  So I took the plunge and I love it.  Works great (again large market so I might be near servers) and I love this unlimited dvr!  It's like Netflix for tv.  I will save $700 this year on the switch from what I was paying and lost nothing I watched in the process except ESPN which they announced a new deal with on psvue.  

I'd recommend anybody in a large market to check out the trial and price compare as you might be surprised.  I'm embarrassed I fell prey to the Internet hate on it.
