Yea, and thank God they aren't MS.

That's some wishful thinking right there.  I know it sucks that MS is going to lose every true exclusive list from now on, but there is absolutely no reason for Sony to switch to PC, too.  And I think you're last two sentences more accurately describe the PS4.

Sony execs dream of Ms like success. Sony know that hardware isn't the future. Software as a service is. Fans need to suck that up, it's what will happen. No question, no doubt.

That's complete and utter bullshit. How exactly are you going to access a service that isn't A) connected To the Internet or B) on some form of hardware? There is a need for hardware no doubt, the real race is to the first platform that truly offers everything and after 30+ years we still have no victor thanks to capitalism and the free market. If software as a service was the future then why has Ms recently tried pushing the Xbox, the Windows tablet or windows phone on us? Those all could be seen as a service that are better handled from a hardware perspective by at least a dozen companies. Wishful thinking kowen, go ahead and suck that up.

 

We can't even have this discussion until Apple, Google and Microsoft decide to hangout. And as long as we have two or more major players, there is no reason why the other guys won't try to penetrate that hardware pie.

 

 

With the success of Ps4, The consumer has shown Sony the confidence they need to push ahead with their ecosystem. As it stands right now, I am not concerned at all with the future of PlayStation. Nor do I expect them to start releasing games on any other platform, unless it's at the cost of an arm and a leg via PsNow.
