There is no way that they spent all that money developing the PS4 to see it outdated already.

People just need to speculate on something, and this is what they are choosing to speculate on.

I don't see it happening too soon simply because people still haven't fully bought into digital only games. A significant percentage of games are still physically purchased.

At the same time, they have already started going this direction with Playstation Now and Playstation TV.

They just announced the other day that Playstation TV will be supporting Playstation Now, which basically makes it a cloud gaming device.

I don't know how well that will work as there are already problems with latency before you consider hacking attacks and the like. Not to mention you have to keep in mind what will be happening with Net Neutrality in the future, and perhaps having to pay a premium for cloud based services.

I personally hope it never moves in that direction, but its way too early to tell what is coming next, and what will and will not be successful.

No point in rushing a game for next gen if that next gen becomes obsolete by the time you even get to the front register at the local Best Buy.

The main problem with cloud-based gaming is that not every console player wants to always play online 24/7/365. Some players live in areas with shoddy internet. Let's also not forget that companies like Comcast have constantly clearly ignored and brushed off any and all requests to upgrade the cable-internet infrastructure here in the United States. Just look at South Korea in comparison to the US. http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/south-korea-make-world-even-jealous-10gbps-broadband/ Quote: According to AkamaiGÇÖs Q2 2014 The State of the Internet report, South Korea has an average Internet connection speed of 24.6Mbps, placing it well ahead of No. 2 Hong Kong with 15.7 Mbps.

That said, this cloud-based console concept is not something I'm going to invest in anytime soon unless the US upgrades its internet infrastructure.

North and South combined is about the size of the state of Minnesota. It easier to wire the infrastructure of a country the size and more economically adventageous capitalize on the human resources of a highly populated region. That being said the South Korean government took incredibly proactive steps to encourage service competition, helping drive quality up and price down. It also helps that the timely release of Star Craft in pc cafes drove a monumental demand for cheap home pc Internet connectivity early on. I look forward to going back. The 5g network might be coming online there in 2017. Download a full movie to your phone in seconds. That's good for them. As for us Americans, good god our internet sucks and we pay many times more for the less than what SK gets. It's madness I tell ya. To make matters worse, our internet service providers are not doing much of anything to improve the network infrastructure. Netflix even paid Comcast voluntarily to cover the costs of upgrading the infrastructure but Comcast was reluctant to do so. The US government even paid Comcast to do that -- which entails a stronger obligation on the part of the business -- but then somehow legislation was later passed that enabled the company to get away with NOT following through with its obligations while keeping the tax-payer money it received. In the meantime, Comcast and the like are just intentionally clogging up the connections with useless/junk data while still charging a ridiculous amount of money with bait-and-switch marketing tactics. I want to move to SK now. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.
