Should have just invested in actual backwards compatibility.
Short of bolting an actual PS3 into the PS4, that wouldn't be possible.

The only reason they gave on the blog is this:
How? These devices should tap into the same servers that the PS4 and PC clients do. The main cost would be the app, which Sony already developed.
What could be the reason, outside of doom and gloom, that they make the service available on less devices? Wouldn't that only shrink the addressable market without providing something in return?
They probably have data on what devices they get interest in. I doubt PS3 gets many subscribers nor Vita. TVs probably not either. PS4 and PC are likely their biggest audience. Might as well focus on making those better.What could be the reason, outside of doom and gloom, that they make the service available on less devices?

The OP could add a little more detail.
Very strange to remove it from TVs. I thought it was a clever way to get people hooked on it who don't otherwise have a games console.
PS3 is strange too. Wonder if more PS3 services will go offline this year? It's in its 10th year now.

Honestly, PSNow sounded like a money losing venture from the beginning. I'm surprised it's even still around.
Sucks for those who used it but IMO it was never really worth it. I tried it for a month and even with FIOS the performance wasn't great, and the price was too high. If you want to play PS3 games just get a PS3.
How succesful has PS Now been anyway, overall?
I'd be pisssssed if I had bought a year of this only for it be cut off from my device of choice. This is so freaking weird and abrupt lol.
The cost of supporting those devices is probably higher than the money they make out of them...
But as a government sponsored charity, surely they need to look at more than that?
I don't see why they would be, they're entirely unrelated to PS Now.Will your PS+ library on those games be gone?
streaming games was a mistake
