Holy crap! Is Sony gonna become software only?

It would be pretty smart if they made demos for PS titles available on all devices, but the full games only on PS. Or at least list PS titles and their synopsis/rating/whatever, but label it "only available on PS" or something, it'd be like almost free marketing.

If I could connect a Dual Shock 3 to the tablet, I would gladly play Uncharted on it.

Youd have to download an app. And theres no way Sony would flat out make an app for Xbox. Windows 8 yes, but Xbox no chance. That would completely destroy Sony's game department.  Ironically it would probably make them more profit, but their fanbase would murder them.

Why would it destroy Sony's game department? It would destroy their HW "center of the home" vision but not their SW vision, let alone their game department.

I meant fanwise. Its risky if you ask me. Going up against Xbox Live ( which surely Microsoft will fully implement for Windows 8 in the way Sony are ). If Microsoft do, Sony will lose this. Live is a proven million seller. Minecraft for example has sold more than most Disc based games and is still selling. It'll likely it 6 million before E3 next year. Developers wont be afraid of a service thats proven like Xbox Live. They will cling to it as its proven. The fact that Xbox Live is built into Windows 8 screams Microsoft are going the same route. And I have a funny feeling Microsoft will also give you the option to download the game for keeps on Live as well as a stream service.

This should be very interesting indeed.  

Minecraft is selling a lot because it's Minecraft...

While your right, its also the platform. Live has soo much regular activity from different users. Active users on Live is untouchable by te other consoles manufacturers at the momennt.

Plenty of games are over the 1 million mark and several have 2-3 million sales. Thats why Live has so many developers excluisves and a load more to choose from. also Microsoft invest heavily into their own XBL exclusives which shows in the exclusive list for the network and the high praise it recieves.

I'm confused, is Sony really going to offer its PS3 exclusives? or is just a service for the PS3 and Vita?

But that's like saying MS are crazy going up against Valve (Steam)...ALL of them are proven and all of them have games that sell really well. Now, if Sony did this and actually put FULL PS3 games that you could play instantly on any hardware, they would have nothing to fear from XBL games.

True. On Windows though it would have Live to deal with. Not Android or IOS though. As Xbox Live in that way will never be on them.

Interesting move, I didn't see it coming.

As a PC gamer I will gladly try some of their games if the service become available at my country.

Not really seeing myself playing those games without buttons, specially the fps. But good news I guess.

I imagine this is for testing the waters with cloud gaming without putting in danger their home consoles or handhelds, really smart move.

Umm, Gaikai for Android? I am a total noob when it comes to iOS/Android but wouldn't that potentially mean that I can play PS3 games on the Ouya? Buttons and all?



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Yes and with a PS3 controller.
