I think both MS and Sony are trying to achieve the same thing. Turning their brands into game services that are streamed/downloaded to as many devices as possible.  

Most will angrily say this will never work but I believe the first to the finish line on this goal will be sitting pretty staring down at their struggling competition.  

This streaming to PC from both, psnow and unified Windows store are ultimately in a race to the end result of a branded gaming service useable on as many devices as possible.  Consoles, PC, tvs, tablets, phones, microwaves and toasters.  

Except fans of them consoles will say this will never happen. Id be rich if i could count how many times them same fans said something will never happen in the past only for it to then happen.

We have seen time and time again how companys give in to the pressure of the casual masses.

How many times have your fav games been ruined or changed cos it fits with what the masses want??. Yeah the companys where clearly thinking about their fans then.

Fact is Money talks, and if them companys know they can make more money by opening up their services to other devices they are going to do what the masses want.

Its just imo the first one to do it is going to get the biggest piece of the pie if the others leave it too late to join in.

For me its not a think that this is something they might do, as anyone that can see trends can see where gaming is heading. So its just a matter of who will be first and who will be last.

In this hypothetical, all it takes is the ability to count to be rich ;)
