I honestly think this is long ranged plan for Sony, buy now while it's good and not crazy $$$ to spend for.
- Release a slimmed PS3 with the option of connecting to the (new)PlayStation Cloud.
- Release a very good/fair PS4 with connections to this cloud in a years time.
- Slowly grow the cloud adaption, moving people off discs into online play over 5 -8 years time.
- I hear Gaikai will make the PS4 backwards compatible...
Thanks jay, I'll have to look into this one, perhaps the Tribes series isn't so dead after all.
I agree, not wanting it to be online only. Then it locks you into having to pay a fee to access your games, and having to buy new licenses for every game, that's a lot $$$.
I do think a PS4 will launch, just not so beefed up. Maybe a 5 year end of life console.
