Intrinsic said: Firstly its not only available in EU. Secondly, netflix didnt start off being available everywhere on day one either. It also took years to get to some places. Then there is the fact that at least (and if we are being honest here) Playstation has one of the most (probably top 2 or number one) extensive and/or active ame streaming services in the industry with playstation now while others are really only just building theirs out. Take this fr instance, MS is making a big push for game streaming services now and building it into to core of their next Xbox....... thats something sony showed off right alongside the share button at the PS4 reveal in 2013. We have not only gotten game PS Share but have also got PSnow from that initiative and the latter is growing. |
I never said it wont be the Netflix of gaming but I think its rather funny that this thread is calling it that now, when majority of the world don't even have access to it or know of PSNow. I am guessing because MS came out and said that xCloud is aiming to be the Netflix of gaming, all of a sudden PSNow is considered a bigger streaming service so its the real Netflix of gaming because its one of the first even when Sony is actually using a much smaller infrastructure to the MS, Amazon and Apple. That's why the title is a little misleading to me.
PSNow is making Sony millions, there's no doubt, but so is every other Streaming service out there when you look into it. Is it bigger? Hard to tell. Will it be the biggest? Lets wait until next gen before we throw out claims that PSNow is the Netflix of gaming.
Ill be a definite customer if it ever comes to Australia so I am not against the service. If Sony can afford to bring it here and to the rest of the world, not just to the major countries.
