Now is the best time. At least that’s what Sony is hoping. It’s the current king of console gaming, with the PlayStation 4 still outselling rivals Xbox One and Wii U.

And Sony, of course, wants to build on this lead. It’s conducting an open beta for an ambitious service, PlayStation Now, which stream PlayStation 3 games to the PlayStation 4, a system that doesn’t offer backward compatibility. And you don’t need a disc or even hard drive space for the game to do so.
