I love this thread. lemmings are claiming ownage over a rumor and cows are scared of said rumor :)rilpasIt's a win/win for both sides, lol.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Cows are in an epic state of damage control I see.
A quote from the head of Gakkai himself.

Lemmings are STILL in a state of FEAR, HATE, JEALOUSY, MISERY, SADNESS and more FEAR:
Its pretty obvious Sony is dropping out of the hardware race. They can't compete with MS in that way anymore.
I love the extremes in SW, `If PS3 has cloud gaming it can't have disk based media too!' It's going to have both, same as 720.getyeryayasoutWell the head of Gakkai saying Sony was dropping out of the console race is pretty telling.
This is actually interesting because based on the apparant power of the Wii U it would seem Sony doesn't really need to release new hardware to compete with it on a technical level so this could be a kinda genius move on their part for extending the life of the current console and staying competitive with Wii U in the future.
I've said it before and i'll say it again, the PS4 will be a regular console but many years into the gen at around the time we would expect a new console Sony will launch its cloud gaming service for the PS4 and call it "PSinfinite", PSi for short. Enjoy the news from my crystal ball.
[QUOTE="groverslanding"]Well the head of Gakkai saying Sony was dropping out of the console race is pretty telling.Telling indeed, still it's only a prediction from an at the time non-Sony employee, put away the lotion and tissues.He's the head of the company they just bought. Seems to me he would be the first person to ask.[QUOTE="getyeryayasout"]I love the extremes in SW, `If PS3 has cloud gaming it can't have disk based media too!'

Can you imagine how cheap and competitive PS3 would have been without blu-ray,,how come its needed, its sure nice to have but NOT NEEDED, if x360 survived with DVD I don't see the reason why PS3 could not,[QUOTE="bashar-xs"][QUOTE="rumbalumba"]
and who are you to say Bluray wasn't needed? oh right, just because M$ will be using Bluray next gen it now becomes a necessity? don't make me laugh. PC can always go by DVDs because most of the game's content is installed anyways. i bought DMC3 for the PC years ago and it came with 5 DVDs but it didn't matter because i just had to install all 5 discs once and i just needed the first disc for DRM everytime i play. that's the case for most PC games, but on consoles you don't install all the content that's why in one way or another the discs always stream content and that is the problem with DVD because you need to swap discs halfway through a game. NeverWinter Nights on PC had 3 discs about 10 years ago yet i never had to swap discs.
also, "when Sony starts charging for online next gen.." don't talk of it as it if were true. Nintendo isn't charging for online on Wii U. i don't see Sony charging for online next gen.
casharmy
And the wii survived with PS2 graphics...good idea everyone should aim for the lowest common denominator. Now that I think about it we don't even need online or HD graphics at all floppy disks would surfice!
Don't put words on my mouth, WII has nothing in common with X360 and PS3, I was comparing identical gaming experiences between 2 consoles using 90 percent of the same software (games), and my point was if X360 can deliver the same games and the same experience and in some cases it even do a better job than ps3 using DVD I don't see any reason why the PS3 couldn't been successful with a DVD[QUOTE="phonemug"]He's the head of the company they just bought. Seems to me he would be the first person to ask.Maybe I'm just in denial, it seems plausible, but I'll have to hear it from Sony.Sounds about right.[QUOTE="getyeryayasout"]Telling indeed, still it's only a prediction from an at the time non-Sony employee, put away the lotion and tissues.getyeryayasout
There will be a PS4... but it will be... a cloud service :lol: Or if you used your brain alittle, it would be BOTH.[QUOTE="Sturmfuehrer_"]
No PS4?I'll only believe it when it's actually being announced by Sony.

Nanea Reeves, chief product officer for Gaikai cloud gaming service believes that one major console manufacturer wont be creating a next generation device. Industry Gamers seem to believe that Reeves has inside knowledge and that perhaps the console manufacturer will instead create a major cloud gaming partnership with Gaikai instead of creating brand new hardware. Any guesses as to which console manufacturer it will be?
"Not all of the current console makers will have one more generation. That will be the big news at E3."
In the first post.[QUOTE="ultraking"]Am I missing something here? Where's it confirmed?bionictonic
that is not a confirmation. He didn't even mentions Sony and that's what he "believes" that will happen you alt account idiot. Making a random guess about the future is not a confirmation.

Well looks like OP can't read.
Rumors =/= facts, but whatever I'm not the massive illiterate idiot in this thread (hint: OP is).

One look at his post history shows you his ignorance. Its gong to have a clouid service yes (and the patents along with it), but PS4 will still sell physical consoles and game copies.
It's a she. That announcement was supposed to happen at E3 but didn't go down because all the details weren't ready.

The mods should lock this thread, there is already a Sony buying Gaikai thread, that doesn't have a rumor written as a fact in the thread title.
They should ban phonemug while they're at it, throw in JonnyCageMK, reach3, and ForzaGearsFace too. (since they are all the same pathetic dude anyway)
