Der har tidligere verseret rygter om at sony var på med med store nyheder omkring streaming. I dag kom vi lidt nærmere. Sony har nemlig købt streaming-giganten Gaikai for 380 millioner dollars - det er lige omkring 2,2 milliarder danske kroner.
Et af rygterne ved denne handel lyder på at Sony planlægger en streaming-tjeneste hvor alle tidligere PlayStation-titler kan spilles på PlayStation 3 og måske endda PS Vita og mobil. Om ikke andet skriver nævnes "..."a range of internet enabled devices"... i pressemeddelelsen. Det lyder jo næsten for godt til at være sandt.
Hvad tror I?
Sony Computer Entertainment-presidenten Andrew House: "By combining Gaikai's resources including its technological strength and engineering talent with SCE's extensive game platform knowledge and experience, SCE will provide users with unparalleled cloud entertainment experiences.
SCE will deliver a world-class cloud-streaming service that allows users to instantly enjoy a broad array of content ranging from immersive core games with rich graphics to casual content anytime, anywhere on a variety of internet-connected devices."
Gaikai-chefen David Perry: "SCE has built an incredible brand with PlayStation and has earned the respect of countless millions of gamers worldwide.
We're honored to be able to help SCE rapidly harness the power of the interactive cloud and to continue to grow their ecosystem, to empower developers with new capabilities, to dramatically improve the reach of exciting content and to bring breathtaking new experiences to users worldwide.
We expect this will be incredible news for all our partners as we will be able to unlock AAA console gaming from the cloud, with the full support of Sony."
