With PlayStation Now coming to Windows, could consoles get replaced by the cloud? (Open_Tab)

Do you want to play Uncharted without owning a PlayStation? Soon, with a PC and a fast internet connection, you'll be able to do exactly that.
Sony announced last week that its PlayStation Now game-streaming service will be coming to Windows PCs, leading the Open_Tab crew to wonder whether game consoles will even matter in the next few years.
