Also, Sony's gaming division is currently losing money by the truckload.

I doubt it matters to them who they alienate, with cloud gaming they could be profitable from day 1 and sell it extremely cheap.

Obviously their old strategy was not working.

really? did you even read the article Yoshida posted on his twitter that I posted up two messages. The service is going to be INTEGRATED into the PS4. aka they will coexist. PS4 will most likely launch end of 2013 and you think no games were in development until sometime after today? Going completely cloud based makes no sense and I really don't understand why everyone is jumping to that conclusion. They would be alienating half of their install base from ever playing a ps4 game if they go totally cloud.

Using confirmed in the title of a thread and then going on to post a source that doesn't confirm anything in the title should be an automatic ban.

Wait so...let me get this straight. PS4 and 360 rumored to be launching fall of 2013. That's a year and half from now. Yet you guys all think ps4 will just be a cloud streaming service that sony just acquired...TODAY. I'm sorry but the timeline makes no sense if that's all the ps4 is going to be. It takes years to get together everything to launch a new system. Wasn't there an article awhile back sony looked at going digital only but in the end realized gamers around the world don't have the internet connection for this kind of thing yet. Given the announcement only a year and a half till supposed launch I would say this is going to be more of a service part of a larger package such as an actual consolenolson

Do I need to link you to the definition of anger so you can expand your knowledge? Just like I did with the word "confirmation"?

:lol: You quote one of the dumbest sayings in history? Really?

Try a rebuttal to what I said. Hell, the last few times you tailed off because you had nothing... It's kinda hilarious.

Also, i'm 25.

Look at that. You couldn't meet the very basic requirements of proof. You damn idiot.

Is it embarassing to convery conjecture as fact? Or did you not advance far enough in the education system to be taught that you should prove your statements?

So where does it explicitly state that Sony will be leaving the console business?

lundy86_4

Not the ones who just bought them out perhaps?

:lol: This is ridiculous.

Definitely would be a good business move for Sony. They don't have the financials to put out another console, and compete with Nintendo/Microsoft. Making a "Playstation Cloud" subscription service that is accessible on the PS3/VITA or any PC would be a great idea. The future of gaming's existence is going to be dependant on new ideas for distribution and interaction (both gameplay and devices; i.e. phones, gamepads, mice/keyboards, etc.) ... not better graphics. The industry isn't in a state where much better graphics would be sustainable. I would love to have a game that I could play at home, and then have a portable, complimentary experience that builds me resources for at home (i.e. playing short minigames on my phone to gain souls and humanity in Dark Souls).Zeviander

So in essense PS4 is going to be Onlive2
