OnLive has only 2 potential customers: Microsoft and Sony

Posted by Eric on Apr 7, 2009

Another take on why OnLive is really geared for the customers (i.e. Microsoft and Sony) and not the gamers (for now). Essentially, the costs of the infrastructure behind the game service is tremendous and OnLive may need to be bought out in order to cover these costs. This may explain why OnLive has only stated a launch in the continental US so far.
