A sub base in the US alone which would compare to the global sales of the PS4, that would be absolutely mindblowing, I can't give you a number though but the PS4 is not a powerhouse in terms of power though, it performs its duty really well but in comparison to some PC enthusiasts machines here or even the PS3/X360 when that launched it isn't a super computer in the slightest.

I mean even in terms of the memory the system has, sure a massive 5gb of GDDR5 is great for a game... but you gotta look at it from the point of a PC virtualization server... Windows Hyper V Server 2012 had a limit to RAM of 4TB ya know... 4 Terabytes for a single Virtualization server or 819 times the memory of a single PS4 and that was the previous generation of windows Virtualization server I'm not even sure what the limit is on Server2016 nevermind a custom build which would be used for something like Gaikai if you think a company would use 40m servers for a sub base of 40m PS4 level of systems I'm just at a loss really.

Its not as mindblowong as you think. If all you need to play PS games is a controller, and an internet connection and you willingness to pay for your subscription for that month..... I can gaurantee you that having an install base of 40M in the space of one year in one territory won't be that hard at all. As lomg as the service works and we all have an internet connection that can hanfle it.

And that memory thing, you do know that GDDR5 ram os differrmt from normal ram right? 

And ive repeated numerous times, i dont think you need 40M servers for 40M subscribers.... you know what never mind. You should read all i have said again. 

I don't mean to sound harsh here, but I genuinely couldn't. Lets just see how the future pans out for PSNOW I'm sure they'll gauge the future of their cloud based offerings from that.
