PlayStation Now brings Sony games to Windows PC this fall - CNE
PlayStation Now brings Sony games to Windows PC this fall - CNE
Several months ago, Microsoft announced that when you buy future Xbox games, you'll be able to play them both on Windows 10 machines as well as on the Xbox One -- that's strike one for gaming consoles.
And it was just announced: Coming this fall you'll be able to play PlayStation 3 games on your Windows PC or tablet via the internet with Sony's streaming game service, PlayStation Now. Granted, these aren't the newest PlayStation 4 games, but to me this is a huge move by Sony. Not only is it a way to introduce non-PlayStation owners to their games on a PC and untether gamers from their big screen TVs, but it could potentially lead to more future games being available online without the console. Now that's strike two against consoles.
So let me ask you this, with two big console players offering their games on PCs, is the writing on the wall for gaming consoles? Or, is it just the company's way of expanding their audience and reach to make their games accessible without the use of a console? Given this announcement by Sony to bring their games online, are you buying in and willing to try them on your Windows PC, or are sticking it out with a console? Share your thoughts. I look forward to reading your thoughts.
