[EN]: Sony Computer Entertainment has made its plan to acquire Gaikai official today. SCE will buy all of Gaikai, Inc. for about $380 million.

While OnLive, a competing company in cloud gaming, is already offering its own service to gamers in different platforms, Gaikai’s game demos (for EA and other companies) have been mostly offered via browsers on Windows computers, but with today’s acquisition of Gaikai, Sony will have to decide how it would open up services to platforms besides its PS3, PSP, and PS Vita.

OnLive already offers cloud gaming on computers and in Android devices, and a viewer on iPod and iPad ones.

For Sony, Gaikai could provide access to game demos without having to download lots of gigabytes that eventually get to fill a user’s hard drive, though the service does requires continuous, high-speed access to the Internet.

It could let people play PS3 games on Android-based smartphones.

During E3 2012, I asked one of the Gaikai representatives about the service, and he said it can be applied into any platform.

Now that Sony will own Gaikai, will we see radical changes in the development of Sony console games in the near future? Will Sony’s PS4 be the company’s last physical console?

[ES]: Sony Computer Entertainment ha hecho su plan oficial de adquirir Gaikai hoy. SCE comprará todo Gaikai, Inc, por casi $380 millones.

Mientras que OnLive, un compañía que compite en juegos en la nube, ya está ofreciendo su propio servicio a jugadores en diferentes plataformas, las demostraciones de juegos por medio de Gaikai (para EA y otras empresas) han sido ofrecidas vía navegadores en computadoras Windows, pero con la adquisición de Gaikai, Sony tendrá qie decidir como abriría sus servicios a plataformas además de su PS3, PSP,y PS Vita.

OnLive ya ofrece juegos en la nube en computadoras y en dispositivos Android, y un visualizador en los de iPod y iPad.

Para Sony, Gaikai podría proveer acceso a demosntraciones de juegos sin tener que descargar muchoos gigabytes que poco a poco llenarían el disco duro del usuario, aunque el servicio sí requiere una velocidad Internet alta y contínua.

Podría permitir también a que la gente juegue juegos del PS3 en teléfonos inteligentes Android.

Durante E3 2012, le pregunté a uno de los representantes de Gaikai acerca del servicio, y dijo que se puede aplicar a cualquier plataforma.

Ahora que Sony será dueño de Gaikai, ¿veremos cambios radicales en el desarrollo de las consolas de juegos Sony en un futuro cercano? ¿Será el PS4 la última consola física de Sony?
