Viewpoint in a rather shortsighted fashion

Watch Lone Survivor Online Their mobile division didn't fare quite as well, posting losses of $120 million dollars. It's awesome that what profit the PlayStation division made their mobile division slurped up most of it like illegal immigrants slurping up menial jobs most Americans couldn't afford to take.

Watch Labor Day Online Pachter is also missing out on another facet of the PlayStation Now service: Legacy titles. While it's still just rumor that there will be disc-based backwards compatibility for the PS4 running PSX and PS2 games, anyone who doesn't own the discs (or not keen on buying them from local or online shops) would at least still have the option of experiencing some games via PlayStation Now. Keep in mind that there are a ton of gamers who may have been too young to enjoy some of the awesome titles from the fifth generation of gaming, and opening up that floodgate to a whole new youth market is a wonderful thing.

Watch Ride Along Online I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of that “all digital future” and I'm definitely not a fan of games being turned into services instead of being offered as standalone products, but as far as backwards compatibility goes for the PS4 running PS3 games, there just wasn't any other way to do it that was convenient for both Sony and the customer.

Watch That Awkward Moment Online "This has no prayer of working. None."Bullocks. The PS4 isn't natively backwards compatible with PS3 games. Anyone looking to cash in on the PS3's illustrious stash of games over the past eight years without buying a PS3, they will most definitely need some form of backwards compatibility for the PS4. Even if third-party publishers only release games two years or older, that's still good news for PS4 owners who will constantly have a growing library of games at their disposal via PlayStation Now.

Watch Thor 2 Online Videogamer picked up the quotes from the March issue of Game Informer, where Pachter rolled out his thoughts like the contents of a high-quality sushi sandwich from Haru Sushi Cafe in LA, saying... "PlayStation Now is a joke," ... "There is no publisher that is going to license content that's less than two-years old because they would be concerned that they can't sell as many copies if they make it available for subscription or rental.

Watch The Hunger Games Catching Fire Online Publishers just won't get into PlayStation Now... that's what Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter is saying. Sony's streaming service for their consoles and portable devices will allow for game streaming from just about anywhere, but the Pach-Man isn't buying it.

I'll simply say that Pachter appears to be approaching this viewpoint in a rather shortsighted fashion. But then again, so are some publishers. Videogamer is also noting that SCEA's marketing VP John Koller mentioned that...
"publishers are being exceedingly bullish"
