There is no way that they spent all that money developing the PS4 to see it outdated already.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

It's hard to even think about this now but if you don't heed the signs then were all caught up in the backfire .
I don't like to be surprised like that .
It is still early like you said though but if there leaking it now then there prob farther along in the development then most think .
Maybe, but every new step goes at its own pace.
Look at electric cars.
They are still not terribly common, yet some of the first electric model came out in 1880 if you can believe wikipedia. They tried again in the 70s or so when they had major gas supply problems. And while they are growing, they haven't taken off because of logistical issues.
Things like Netflix really aren't interactive, so they don't have the same logistical problems as games. Perhaps a technology comes out soon that really reduces the problems internet presents for gaming, but that is going to be a huge hurdle for the foreseeable future.

Like Playstation Now.
Essentially a video game version of Netflix, where the games you play are not actually on your system but are streamed to you.
