Sony: Cloud gaming future is "absolutely inevitable"
Sony was heavily rumored to be preparing a bespoke cloud gaming channel on its PlayStation 3 console, and that an acquisition of Gaikai or OnLive is vital in providing this service - a rumour on which all involved have declined to comment.
But when quizzed on the topic of cloud technology, Rohde told GamesIndustry that it's "absolutely inevitable that it's going to be a part of what everyone does."
He went on, "It just makes sense. And so, over the next five years, you're going to see everything evolve to that state because people want access to their data anywhere."
The that timeframe would, you'd assume, fit well within the expected release of Sony's next console. But Rohe wouldn't be pushed into confirming anything.
"Will there be a streaming service? Will there be a partnership? I'm not going to answer those questions right now. But, like I've said ten times, like a broken record, the industry is always evolving," he concluded.

Dolphinzaimiami12MPAA And this is why i don't own a Playstation.
This makes sense...I can go anywhere and access my saved data. Im not crazy about partnerships or anything like that but Microsoft does that on the dashboard and we pay 60 bucks a year
I have both systems and id say ps3> 360
As much as I hate to admit but cloud gaming is the future in about 6 years we will be able to "stream" games easily. Right now its impractical.
You are exactly right about that.

I cannot see cloud gaming ever overtaking console gaming, for various reasons. 2 of those are ISP bandwidth caps, (we'll talk when ISPs go back to offering unlimited plans) and also input lag which i can't see ever being fixed.

In a few years, when cloud memory and other things evolve and modernize, we will definitely see cloud gaming. I can imagine onLive patenting tons of crap and then running the cloud gaming industry for the most part in the future.
