Exactly where did that spring from and of what relevance is it to PSNow? |
Thats what you guys have been arguing...
Like I said, I dont see why this is a sure thing to succeed. Its not a fact. Its your guess.

No it isn't what we've been on about at all. In fact I went out of my way to say it's NOT about consoles/handhelds. It's a service that's going to be made available to billions of potential customers. It's NOT about selling consoles, it's about broadening the market for the PS brand. Why are you still not understanding such a basic concept?
The PS5 Exists.

I understand the concept. I dont understand the guaranteed success part... Its a service that Sony has to pay to keep up and running. If the general public doesnt want it, then they lose money. Just because its available to many doesnt mean that many people want it...

Companies will pay Sony for the service, which will in turn give them enough for profit, maintenance and growth.

My God:
Sony's PlayStation Now game streaming service will be available on select Samsung Smart TVs in the first half of 2015.
The partnership between Sony and Samsung was announced Tuesday and will give Samsung Smart TV consumers in the United States and Canada will have easy access to hundreds of PlayStation 3 games streamed from the cloud – no consoles, downloads, or trips to the store needed.
PlayStation Now is currently offered on a variety of PlayStation platforms, including the PlayStation 4. Gamers can choose from more than 200 titles from the vast library of PS3 games, ranging from action/adventure and racing to RPGs and family-friendly games. PlayStation Now offers something for everyone, representing some of the best PS3 games from the gaming industry's top developers and publishers.
"PlayStation Now provides a new dimension to Samsung Smart TVs that consumers have been looking for – blockbuster PS3 games accessed through an intuitive interface that makes it easy to discover and play great gaming experiences," said Youngchan Kim, Vice President at Samsung Electronics. "We are excited to collaborate with PlayStation to deliver even more entertainment value to our Smart TV platform."
The service will launch as an app that can be accessed through Samsung's Smart Hub. Once launched, a game is played using the critically acclaimed wireless controller DUALSHOCK 4 (sold separately). PlayStation Now on Samsung Smart TVs will support all functionality of the service, including the ability to earn in-game trophies, play games online with friends, and save your game progress in the cloud.
"Since we first introduced PlayStation Now at CES 2014, our vision has been to open the world of PlayStation to the masses by offering the service on the devices they use every day," said Masayasu Ito, Executive Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. "Partnering with Samsung is a key step toward realizing this vision, as we can reach a broader audience of consumers who may not own a PlayStation console to show them why gaming with PlayStation is such a unique and amazing experience."

Just a guess but I'm assuming because Samsung TV's sale a lot better than Sony.
| KLXVER said: Where does it say that Samsung paid for the service...? |
Dear LORD. They probably didn't because they've partnered with them but they tell you IN THE ARTICLE why it's likely other companies will eventually pay for the service. I highlighted it.
