Its pretty obvious Sony is dropping out of the hardware race. They can't compete with MS in that way anymore.

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.

We are not advanced enough to have cloud gaming as a only option. Some ppl may have 20mb some ppl may have 2mb. 2mb ppl will run into problems.

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="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

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,

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

The xbox 360 survive because of MS big pockets the high RROD problems would have send any other company out of the market,stalling technology is not great just like you would not like if MS packed a weak GPU on the 360,many did not like DVD as a medium,even less when MS actually rise the price of games by $10 dollars this generation,without justification other that to get more from your pockets. Sure sony would be ahead now if they would have use DVD,but the PS3 would have not turn to be like it is today,not to mention that MS has its own software compression system for games,which i am sure sony doesn't have,all 360 games are compressed,and the newer the game the more compressed they are,but compression only help you until certain point,like Rage and many other games that have come out in multiple disc proved. Imaging sony which doesn't have the same compression tools as MS,doing Uncharted 3 which is like 45 GB long,it would have been impossible or it would have come in out with less things and in multiple disc.

I don't care if Microsoft compressed games as long as I get the same image quality as ps3, even some multiplat games looks even better on x360, Uncharted 3 sure used 45g, its a ps3 exclusive and all exclusives games designed to show case the hardware and its features. this whole gen only few games that really used blu-ray, now the question is? was blu-ray necessary for those game?? was it needed?? NO uncharted could have been done without blu-ray

Maybe I'm just in denial, it seems plausible, but I'll have to hear it from Sony.

Sounds about right.

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?

My experience with Onlive is I like the service but it doesn't beat playing the game locally, controls are delayed a little and the visuals aren't has sharp.

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.

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)

It's confirmed to anyone who isn't in denial and can put 2 and 2 together.

Anyone who chooses to remain delusional about this will just find out the truth later.
