There's absolutely no chance the idea of 'cloud' computing improving the console capabilities is what they refer. We've been through this with the Xbox 1 since it was announced.

You totally have missed what I said by a mile.

The way PS Now works is by having certain hardware at Sonys end that does the actual work.  In the current case, they have PS3 hardware running games, that is then streamed to your PS4.  This is how you are able to play PS3 games on your PS4.  The PS4 does almost no work and acts pretty much as solely as a reciver.

In this case, the hardware wouldn't be a PS3, but the supposed PS4.5.

If you thought PS Now was cloud computing like what Xbox was talking about, how did you think it worked on Braiva TV's?

 

I didn't miss at all what you said, I started by assuming the rumors are credible, and as such the most likely way I see them do this thing work.

 

You mentioning PS Now has absolutely no bearing on this rumor whatsoever, they might as well have quantum computers on their servers, it makes no difference at all to the entire topic.

What do you think happens the moment changes the hardware on the PS Now servers? Are games going to be made exclusive for PS Now? Do you have any idea what's the current paying userbase on PS Now?

I would love to understand what's the reasoning behind your assumption and what are the possible advantages/disadvantages of it.

 

Then compare that to the full reasoning I made for this possible 'premium' model and ponder how likely either seems
