Sony buying Gaikai: "It's certainly a move for PlayStation 4"

[Administrator]

No, a deal doesn't exist; yes, it does - Sony yesterday announced the $380 million acquisition of cloud streaming company Gaikai. Those puffed up promises Perry made years ago have now made him loads of money. Perhaps he was right.

But what does this mean for us? What does this mean for PlayStation? What does this mean for that other cloud streaming service OnLive? And what does it mean for Xbox 360? Digital Foundry editor Richard Leadbetter has already digested the Sony-Gaikai deal from a technical point of view. But here, we seek answers to the wider questions - and with wildly varying results. Will Sony's acquisition accidentally kill Gaikai? Will Gaikai kill PlayStation 4? And will Microsoft really make a move on OnLive? And what about Nintendo? We cover all of these topics and more below.
