For the most part probably because now Sony treats PSNow as their answer to Microsoft B/C program - a way to play old PS3 titles with some early PS4 titles. Microsoft and Google seem to offer a solution to access newly released games, as an alternative to traditional way to access these games by playing them on dedicated hardware. As it is now, we haven't heard anything that would suggest that Sony will release new titles on PSNow at launch day or not.

Microsoft is losing badly and I'm sure there are many people in those news outlets out there who don't like. this because they're loyal to Microsoft. Gaming journalism has become a dumpster fire of click-bait and writers who let their bias influence their coverage. They have clever ways of writing their articles and presenting false narratives as objective reporting. Journalism is corrupted by money and personal, hidden agendas of the writers pretending to be journalists.

I can't really quite remember journalists cheering for Microsoft this gen at all.They supported Sony way more. Almost every thing Microsoft did this gen until release of Xbox One X was downplayed by gaming press like something insignificant.

When Microsoft announced streaming from Xbox to PC over home connections, journalists acted like it was the second coming. Some ignored the fact that it was Microsoft attempting to answer Remote Play. Other journalists actually stated it was superior to Remote Play. Streaming over a home connection only is better than streaming anywhere?

Sony should have made possible to stream Remote Play by local network. At least it really seems that it can't do that from my experience. With all the latencies and poor image quality that Remote Play gives you when you use it at home, it really looks like they still use their servers to stream for some reason. So, yeah, if we talk about streaming to home PC, Microsoft solution works better. The concept of Remote Play is way better though. Sony should just add the possibility to stream locally. I also like that Remote Play is on macOS as well unlike Microsoft streaming which is Win10 only.
