Multiple domains recently registered by Sony/Gaikai suggest that the platform holder could be preparing to announce a new 'PlayStation Cloud' service attomorrow's PlayStation Meeting event (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/390843/ps4-reveal-what-will-sony-announce-at-its-new-york-playstation-meeting/).
http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_2974/image_297492_thumb_wide300.jpg (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/viewer.php?mode=article&id=297492)Superannuation (https://twitter.com/supererogatory/status/303953228586946560) has dug up domains for 'playstation-cloud.com', 'playstation-cloud.org' and 'ps-cloud.net', all registered on February 15 by Gaikai - the cloud gaming service which Sony acquired in July last year (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/356145/official-sony-to-acquire-gaikai-for-new-cloud-service/).This comes just as the industry braces for what it expects to be the unveiling of Sony's next-generation PlayStation 4, or codename 'Orbis', at tomorrow's NYC event.
A report last week claimed that the PlayStation 4 will be capable of playing PS3 games via cloud streaming (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/391701/playstation-4-to-stream-ps3-games-via-gaikai-rumour/) service Gaikai.
If true, this would provide a feasible solution to the issue of backwards compatibility on the new console - a feature that would be otherwise difficult to achieve due the likelihood of a vastly differing internal architecture to PS3.
Sony has kept quiet on its plans for Gaikai, other than to say (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/356528/sony-gaikai-streaming-on-multiple-products-absolutely-in-the-frame/) that while it "will be focused on Sony's game machines", that "expanding the technology to other Sony products is absolutely within the frame".
