You act like you didnt know this was coming  It isnt smart, its obvious, its what Stringer was trying to achieve but wasnt allowed to do.

They have been talkign about this for 5 years.

What matters is does the hardware buying public think its worth buying a sony tc, Vaio, tablet for sony content. 

Thats the whole point.

 


It will be interesting to see if this gives their other devisions some (or more) momentum...

...or if it ends like the PS Vita´s off-TV play.

 I have absolutely no idea how the mainstream will react, but my internet connection is far too slow for streaming HD content.

...so the appeal is rather limited, I would guess (especially in Europe)



I'll be honest...

I was a big fan of PS1 => It introduced me to 32 bit & 3D Console Gaming
I disliked PS2 first => It killed my Dreamcast and the initial games were underwhelming
I disliked PS3 first => It was late, expensive, underwhelming, disappointing...
I loved PS4 => Almost everything about it except the launch lineup is perfect.

However, throughout the entire playstation generation, Sony was
-Consistent
-Persistent
-Supportive
-Gaming First
-Consumer Oriented

Sony has never betrayed their user base. I got to like both PS2 and PS3 after their revisions, second line up of games. Microsoft, on the other hand, always betrayed their user base!

- Dumped original Xbox after only 3 years.
- Dumped 360 in terms of first party support over 2 years ago.
- Dumped all of their other products & users as well.
- They dumped Windows XP, although 1/3 of PC Users still use XP (and almost all other programs still support it)
- They dumped Windows XP, the day Vista came with Direct X 10, which hardly anybody used
- They dumped Windows 7 and earlier with Direct X 11.2, just to promote Win 8
- They dumped Surface RT as only few people bought it (they did not develop any first party software for it other than the half baked bare minimum, the Arm version of Windows, not even a touch optimized Office!).

etc etc etc...

If there is one company, who betrays their user base, it's not Sony or Nintendo. It is MICROSOFT!

It's only for older games, up to PS3 possibly Vita, I guess. I think it's a very smart idea from Sony.

I'm not following all of Sonys business super closely, so no need to be rude man.

I'll still keep my PS3 because I know mostly only popular games will make its way on the service.



So does that mean that not one single PS3 game can be counted as a console exclusive anymore if they end up on GaiKai? :)

Does it matter though? A new generation has started. Its like how every game pre-ps3 can be emulated on PC XD

I completely agree, it was just funny since so many people have bashed MS for having some games on multiple platforms, yet calling them exclusives :).
