The network will never be as good as it is playing locally. It's a technical limitation that won't be overcome and if this is the gaming future, I will quit gaming.

yep we have been hearing that bullshit for 20 years. tablets and streaming services cannot overcome the laws of physics. There is nothign on current or on the horizon that is going to make this happen anytime in the foreseeable future, won't say never though as you never know what is around the corner. The only thing we do know is tablet and ipad sales have been declining at double digit rates the last few year and we have had many game streaming companies start up and die.

I really think Sony's investment into the game streaming tech was and is wasted money. It costs a lot of money to operate all the stuff, you have to be in several datacenters around the world which is also expensive (and a reason why the service is limited to selected countries currently) and it is immensely network related. Users will blame the service if performance is shit (on top of it being worse per se) but it could be their connection, their router, their switch, their isp, their relatives, almost everything. AND it could be the service, of course.
