PlayStation 4 to be discless? Sony Computer Entertainment has spent $380 million in acquiring cloud-based gaming company Gaikai , as the manufacturer makes strides into taking its gaming experience into the cloud. The partnership raises questions about what Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) has planned for its gaming ecosystem. For example, by taking its gaming titles into the cloud, thus enabling gamers to access all their games from an online hub, actual physical discs could become redundant. Could the PlayStation 4 be the first Sony games console to operate without a disc?? Sony has also recently teamed up with Google for the Sony NS7-GS7 or Google TV . As well as providing consumers with full access to the Google Chrome browser on their television, a cloud gaming service could feasibly mean consumers will be able to play online games through the device. Sony Computer Entertainment is yet to expand on what the future holds following the acquisition of Gaikai but the pieces are now in place for some major changes. As the manufacturer says, “ SCE will continue to aggressively expand a new world of entertainment through the introduction of innovative technologies and the delivery of amazing experiences”? That’s code for watch this space.
