Do gamers really want Cloud gaming?

With Sony's strategy of not ditching PSNow with a subscription service they are clearly not focusing on their next gen console. I'm just wondering what your thoughts on this are. Of course it pretty cool if you can stream PlayStation games on a PlayStation, PC or mobiles, but is that really what gamers want, instead of a more traditional console?

PsNow is just a thing Sony has on the side and they barely promote, or talk about it. Maybe that will change one day and we will all be playing in the cloud in the end. But it's a bit different with MS saying GP is their dna for the next gen and how they're convinced the future of gaming will look like.

So your problem is that MS markets it more? PS Now has more users then GP due to the PS4 install base and has been out for years longer. Sounds like your problem is with MSs marketing department ;)

The Series X info release now has the console in the spotlight. Clearly consoles matter with all the attention MS wants us to know. You can’t exaggerate the cloud news and ignore when they talk consoles, just saying.
