Is streaming the future of gaming? Sony's betting on it.
With the ongoing battle between publishers and retailers over used games—not to mention the fight against piracy—it stands to reason that a move away from physical media is the future for the video game industry. It’s a transition already fully underway in the film industry, with digital movie rentals, sales, and streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime rapidly becoming the preferred method of watching movies at home. Some companies have tried to bring streaming to the gaming market, with OnLive being the most notable, but the big console manufacturers have been mum on the subject. That is, until now. It was announced today that Sony is purchasing Gaikai, another popular cloud-based video game streaming service.
Prime members can now stream their content on Sony's console.
Amazon has announced that, as of this very moment, they have launched Prime Instant Video on the Sony PlayStation 3.
The first dual stick FPS on a handheld will be released soon.

Come see Nintendo's 3DS-centric press conference as it happens and join the staff as they discuss the announcements as they happen.
Starting at 11PM EDT tonight, Nintendo's pre-TGS, 3DS-centric press conference can be seen here streaming live! Now that Famitsu has spilled the beans on Monster Hunter 3 G and the second circle pad attachment, it's likely these items will come up during the conference. We'll likely learn if the attachment is just for the game or if Nintendo has bigger plans for the peripheral.
