Its coming to all tvs tablets phones pc ex ex.

7 billion + people, sony wants all to have access to PS and through first hand experience wants them to want the next PS console and eventually the next big sony game release.

10m sales is big, wait a few years when a new game has 100 million people playing it launch week. Think of the profits sony has in mind.



Yep, that's the plan.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Still doesnt explain why it will be successful though... Not every streaming service does great. It might be a flop.

It WILL be a success. You won't know about it though because the media will carry on telling people (gamers) that it's not worth and they can't understand what it's for.

I'm getting really confused. What are you not seeing here? You only see you can't get many things on PSNow because you are a gamer and know what's available. This a mass market service that untethers the PS brand and allows it to be accessed by an audience of Billions (not millions). They don't care what's NOT there, they just care what IS there. And don't think for one minute that this service won't eventually start offering PS4 games.

Aaaannndddd that's the news I've been waiting for. Next will be PSVue, and if they're smart, more TV makers.

If Sony gets this to a point where anyone buying a Samsung, Sony, LG, or Vizio TV can play their games and watch their tv, both services could be huge. Especially Vue.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

But will every device come with a Dual Shock controller or...? Non gamers would probably find it very intimidating as well with all those buttons.

Casual gamers would just buy one console and play it once in a while.

Im just not sure who this service is meant to cater to...
