I buy a console to play it's native game not playing old consoles games
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Its actually on Samsung TVs as of like 2 weeks ago. Most likely going to come to Android, iOS and WIndows eventually. Sony is buddy buddy with PC lately.

That's for the people in the Xbox Preview Program. Plus these were all added today, there will be more.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Oh hello - its nice to see someone who obviously has never used the service... complaining about the service. Welcome to the bandwagon. |
Well, the service is potentially worse as it adds delay to games and is totally dependant on your internet access. Slow internet? Bad gaming. Peering issues from your provider? Bad gaming. No internet? No PSNow. The list can be easily made bigger. You don't have to have used the service to see the downsides.

1. Probably wont be a next time
2. I always use ethernet. I even made a bridge with a 2nd router so I wouldnt have to use WiFi with my Xbone. I have degrees in networking and computers. Trust me, i know to use ethernet.
But thanks for trying again, friend!

I'm confused. A bridge is still WiFi....
It's when you take a wifi adapter and have it talk wirelessly to another WiFi adapter. A bridge normally adds about 30-50ms of lag, as well as causes random packet loss/ lag spikes due to the wireless nature.
Things such as Netflix use a dynamic buffering system and seem lossless. Things such as CoD/Halo MCC multiplayer/ downloads are rendering locally and often use a predictive technology to compensate for lag and packetloss.
PS Now on the other hand uses a combination of TCP/UDP to stream you the service. They do dynamic resolution scaling based on your current bandwidth and seem to use a form of TCP for the input. If your packet gets lost along the way -- the recieving end will request it again.. .and again... and again until its actually recieved. All packets in a chain must be recieved before the packets are dissasembled.
WiFi causes packet loss. Using an ethernet cable close to electrical cables causes packet loss. Having a bad connector on your ethernet causes packet loss. Overloading your router with too much data -- causes packet loss. It sounds to me based on your "experience" that your network isn't optimal.
Have to admit, very cool feature for the Xbox1. Hope Sony does something similar. I'm not subscribing the PS Now when I have over 40 physical PS3 games in my cabinet. Although to be honest even if my PS4 could play PS3 games, I probably wouldn't even use it. I have hardly gone back to my PS3 since I bought my PS4 so... Still a nice feature.

Regardless of what your confusion as to what a bridge may or may not be (protip: doesn't have to be WiFi, all that matters is that it's on the same network), my PS4 is wired directly into my main router, so it's irrelevant. Don't have any packet loss issues either, friend. I sincerely hope that helps, sorry that my negative experience with PS Now affects you so. Not going to discuss it any further.

I'd use it. I want to go back and play my PS+ PS3 games... but i don't want to turn on my PS3. But its never gonna happen. Closest thing we will get is P1/PS2 BC.
