@Shewgenja: So doesn't that make PSnow inferior?
You want to know what would have made PSNow inferior?
If the XBone was a product on message for core gamers at a competitive price point at launch not constrained by terribad PR over destructive DRM practices. If MS simply traded places with Sony from the hardware design department and was enjoying a massive lead in marketshare.
Why do I bring up these things? Because, that means MS could have come up on stage and just said "Ladies, Gentlemen, and Caitlyn Jenners, the XBox One is backwards compatible." and ended the statement right there. Instead, they have an awesome feature but on a machine that is dangling from the publishers nuts by a thread. So, they have to make concessions that don't serve you worth a **** to keep the fat cast like EA, Square-Enix, and Ubisoft happy little remaster churning factories.
THAT is the Shewgenja perspective on this, and so far it has been pretty dead on accurate. As it stands, it looks like PSNow will have more games to play on PS4. Considering the PS3 did not enjoy anything resembling a market advantage, that means at some point there is a large swath of PS4 owners who are willing to shell out a little money to play PS3 games they missed out on. That's not the definition of inferior. Free or no free.
