If gamers support this well....welcome to a age where you pay and own nothing, 60$digital? they cut the cost with digital so much and they still sell at 60$? no ty, that's why piratery exists

Sadly BlackBible is correct with Playstation TV/Now already getting tested and ready for next generation. Then what then will be the purpose to own a console. Sony and Microsoft know for sure that in order to survive in today's gaming industry they need to sell Netflix gaming services. The hardware battle is lost to PCs and smartphones/tablets, even today's tvs come with duo core processors and access to Netflix, Facebook, Crunchyroll, Hulu, etc. Eliminating consoles from the home entertainment battle. This leads Sony and Microsoft with the only solution and that is Netflix gaming like services in order to survive and make money.

No, he isn't correct. I've said this numerous times on other articles, the infrastructure of our Internet In any country is no where near stable enough (at least not in a ubiquitous sense) to support a streaming only gaming world. Gaming streaming will take off, but it will merely coexist with consoleso. what Soby is offering here is choice (an alternative), not a replacement.

The only thing keeping this from happening is our current state of (pathetic!) internet in most countries around the globe.

Give it time though. Once speeds get fast enough say goodbye to your console and most likely your PC as well. Everything will be virtualized.

Well for PC that is, were hardware will always be there along with bleeding edge graphics. Sorry not on consoles lol, and Onlive proved that heavy graphic games like L.A. Noire can be done on the cloud. Games can still be owned by allowing gamers to buy say games and store them on external hard drives or usb sticks. Now, if gamers were to put an end to their loyalty to corporations, then and only then will console gaming will improve.

See above ^^^^^^^^^

I heard many people say the same last generation. I wouldnt be upset to find your all right this time around and by the time this generation is done things will have come a long way im sure.

No it isn't people have been saying that same thing, just like the people who say the world is going to end for years and years. Nintendo I'm sure already has another console in the making, I'm sorry but with the PS4 sales skyrocketing and these PlayStation Now games being only last gen games of which many own, I don't think Sony is that stupid.

TV and films cost more than games. Look at Avatar, The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, even Titanic cost like $500.00 million or more to makr. Now the real difference between games and film is that one is passive and the other is interactive. What this means is easier to stream a passive experience than an interactive one; for one is the input lag of when a player pushes a button on say gamepad and the game character moves or attacks. The other is the framerates when a swarm of enemies or lots of action is going on it may drop. If Sony manages to overcome those issues then PlayStation Now will succeed. Cloud gaming will come sooner than console gamers think.
