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.

Katsumi Cload is revolutionary. It is good that sony is including it.
+ Soviet Russia
Excellent point. There profits and sales may go down significantly.
Its not that great for people like me with crappy internet though (I live in Australia and have a 25gb cap)
(USA) My ISP doesn't have a maximum cap. But it takes a good 8 hours to download a full sized game

Yes I think it is the same as on Xbox...
Troublez what exactly is cloud gaming?
It is where games are saved on-line rather than on a hard drive or a memory storage device.
