Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Everyone assumes streaming is the future, but is there even a market for this thing with PSnow? What main stream platforms is it even going to be in, and by platforms I don't mean hardware, I mean service platforms. XCloud has access to the Switch. It's got lame content but still day 1 big first party releases. Google has YouTube, which is literally god mode. I don't think MS can overcome this. It also has Chrome and other platforms. On the other hand Sony can literally put out a "whatever" specced machine with a PS5 logo and take the console dedicated market at this point eating into whatever MS has left of the XBox brand.

JonDnD 2,622 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm sure it does . It it will most likely continue to grow and be a major focus for Sony going forward Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yeah no future other than the massive PlayStation user base... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 442 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 In the far future, sure. Not anytime soon though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bhytre 2,753 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 It doesn't seem interesting right now, I never heard anyone outside this forum mention it and here it's mainly for baiting purposes too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,230 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Well, if the PS5 does do that universal emulation for PS2 and PS3 games, then they might just transition PSnow into a download service instead of a streaming service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's big on PS4 and brings in a lot of money . It could stay there and PC and still be something Sony will focus on , especially when MS and Google popularize it even more .

madmaltese★ 2,558 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yes, without a doubt. How do you see everything happening and think that PSNow is going to have less focus or less of future. Sony is going to have to focus more on it whether they want to or not. A rebrand wouldn't hurt though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 MS created a separate next gen SKU with Lockhart specifically for streaming server blades. Sony only has then anaconda expensive equivalent, so even that is a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feed me this same graph 5 years from now and Sony either won't exist on it or they'll be replacing Origin Access' 8%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
