I personally think its a better investment to partner with someone than to outright buy them less hazardous & safer on your bottom dollar, as for the tailoring wouldn't they be short changing themselves to one select group instead of a wider group & more profits.

So if Microsoft buy a company they are damned, if they partner with a company they are damned?!

have you seen sony's earnings? i mean losses...then have you seen MS earnings?

I personally wouldn't call it stealing. Cloud gaming was inevitable, it's just that Sony have brought that inevitability closer and clearly MS are worried. You have to also take into account that Sony have Xperia and the Vita as well as quite a few PSMobile partners, so MS must do something and quickly. The buzz for PSMobile has resonated with Indie developers and they are going to be the main stay of that particular business model. This is basically MS offering them an olive branch.

But is it too late? How many developers are already committed to Sony's business model and would they be willing to develop two versions of the same game when the very reason they were attracted to PSMobile was that they didn't have to do that. I think MS are going to be throwing a lot of money at Indie devs in the coming months and perhaps dropping the need for Indies to fund their own patches, something Sony have just redressed.

The new war has started and it's going to be interesting. I disagree that it means the end of the Handheld or the Console though. This is an alternative business model, not a replacement. Come on TGS!

@chunky You maybe right but it is unclear what Sony plans to power the ps4 with because I've seen rumor that suggest they may retain cell and have a high end powervr chip set or go fully amd,why powervr? this rumor is three years old and on top of that they said this company was to power the vita,which is true ,this kind of adds credence to the rumor.

So I say that Wonderbook (could) do better than expected because of the Harry Potter franchise in another thread and suddenly you suggest I mean that the success of Wonderbook will be on a par with PSMObile?! LOLOL!

That's terrible logic. PSMobile could be HUGE (not guaranteed) but more likely than not. Do you fully understand the proposition of PSMobile? It's not locked to a Sony device, it's ready in waiting for any developer who wants to cut costs. They don't have to develop for many platforms, they just have to develop for PSMobile and it appears on any Android device which is PSMobile enabled.

Can't you see the potential there? Wnderbook is on one platform. Yes it could be successfully, but PSMobile could be as big as PS1/PS2/PS3 combined. You're just not seeing the bigger picture. And remember if you post a response to this now or at a later date, I said 'could'. OK?

If it isn't, we'll take it from there, if it is, I'll probably never hear from you again. I expect nothing less from someone without humility. I'm never afraid of admitting I was wrong, how about you? I'm also gracious when I'm right, how about you?

Yeah bcus i hate psn so much smh . Listen Sony has done a great job with online services imo and based off my years of gaming exp. (im 33 by the way). Contrary2 what fanboys psn is solid an i play online regularly without any issues so idk what your talking about.

How do i come2this conclusion you ask? Knowing tht when Sony implements something its usually quality from tht same track record you refer too. From hardware, to software, to online services im rarely disappointed . By the way that is why thy acquired gakai bcus the proffesionals behind it know what thy are doing and have already shown its viability.
