No the topic as stated in the title of the thread is, what if the rumoured ps4.5 was not new user hardware but PS Now hardware.

the whole idea of the thread is the explore the idea of improved games being streamed and not physical.  It's easily possible, and all the PS4k rumour says is that Sony are working on new hardware.  People have just assumed that it'll be a new box to buy, but this is 2016 when games can be streamed to TV's, vitas, PS3 and ps4.  The home box makes no difference, I'm saying what if PS4k is a streamed service and the hardware only exists at Sonys end.

ok, so that would be suicide, thank goodness it's just fantasy then :)

Again, I've explained my reasons why I think disc games including a PS Now enchanced version is better for the industry than a new piece of hardware.  You have not.  I think the whole PS4.5 idea is bad, but as a streamed bonus it does no damaged.  Any other method is dangerous.
