Exactly, PSNow has been available for almost 5 full years. Sony has a paltry 1 million subscribers? No way to use the service on smartphones or tablets or smart TVs? 

They are not serious about this at all and have purposefully held the service back because they don't want it to interfere with the traditional business model. 

The problem is Microsoft doesn't a give a fuck about any of that, they are thinking about being the dominant player in the battle for the cloud with Google and Amazon, and they want to have the dominant streaming game service more than they want some cookie for beating the Playstation in game consoles. 

Could you link that PS now 1 million subscribers figure,

Is a calculation, 143M income through PSNow, 12 month subscription 99.99$, 1 month 19.99$, 3 months 49.99$. Most are probably yearly subscriptions considering how much cheaper that gets compared to 12 1-month ones, but there are certainly some who only take a month sometimes and then let it slip again, renew, rinse, repeat.

So 143M divided by 99.99 gives a rough 1.43M maximum, but since the shorter subscriptions are so much more expensive, I reduced it by a fair bit to a 1-1.2M range
