i hope they don't make it the focal point of the ps4, otherwise pretty much kiss anyone with spotty internet, capped internet, or simply slow internet good bye.

I can definitely see it being used for backwards compatibility purposes. I kind of doubt the next-gen consoles will be powerful enough to emulate their predecessors, so cloud gaming is one way to do it.

Ahh, so the rumors were true.

@slicer - I honestly doubt Sony's that ballsy. After the complete failure of the PSPGo, I'd assume they're more informed about forcing digital only as the only option. I can see them using it as a PS+ feature to entice gamers to that paid service.

But, please, someone correct me if I am wrong, this will make any sony device virtually capable of playing any game? From ps1, ps2, ps3, and vita? So if this is true, and as they showed even the mobile phones will use the features, are they killing the Vita?

I don't know I am probably making a huge confusion here, at least this is what I hope, otherwise my vita will become useless!

I hope not.

I refuse to support any form of streaming gaming, or cloud gaming, especially from sony. The only practical (for me)uses it can possibly have are to save save games and configuration files like steam.

yea, i'm doubtful as well, but you never know what sony might do.

theoretically, yes, but i'd say probable not. think about it, the ps vita is probably going to be most benefited by this. Not only does it have full buttons for game controls, but also a great screen for doing so, if anything I think the prospect of playing ps3 or even pc games(theoretically if ported for the vita's control scheme), on the vita, is very intriguing.
