Yes it will work. Pricing will depend whether it is popular or not.

Streaming or compute, you're gonna need decent internet that doesn't drop. That's pretty much it. Many still don't have the luxury, me included.

When infrastructures finally retire copper cabling(for good)in favour of fibre then it has a chance to be 100% viable on a large, large scale.

"Many still don't have the luxury, me included."

The vast majority don't, and that's the problem, even in the biggest gaming market.

My brother has worked overseas in Afghanistan and Kuwait and has told me stories that validate your comment; PS Now may be a service that may not be fully-realized in third-world countries for the immediate future. But again like all great things, it will proliferate in coming years, and knowing Sony it will grow and improve faster than one would normally expect.

JBSleek4488d ago

Many countries have retired copper and use fiber now. if you live in America I feel kinda bad because the FCC really screwed you over.

Well, going after what people say on N4G, cloud only works when Sony says so...

rarity4488d ago (Edited 4488d ago )

No the cloud only works when it has been proven to work And this is cloud GAMING it's been around for a while now and has been proven to work and people don't believe in Microsoft's cloud because Microsoft said the cloud could make the xbox 4x stronger and that's where that " teh powerz of the clowdz" joke came from, there cloud has yet do anything they said it would that's why nobody takes microsoft's cloud seriously. But playstation now(gaikai) has been proven to work.

OrangePowerz4488d ago

Cloud streaming is something different compared to cloud computing. OnLive and Gaikai did streaming for years now and have proven that it works.

Cloud computing in the way pitched by a certain company isn't proven at all and so far nothing more than PR talk.

MysticStrummer4488d ago

Going by what people like you say, Sony fans say a lot of things they don't actually say.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing2d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit3d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
