In recent days we have been talking a lot about the Sony PS4 and Microsoft Xbox 720, the two most anticipated video game consoles of the year. Now we have news on the PlayStation 4.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, there is probably a streaming service available for the PS4. This service will be used for streaming titles in our new PS3 console directly, so we can play them via the Internet. Apparently the stream will be exclusive to PS3 games, as the new PS4 will have to play them directly from the optical disk. The new technology will be presented on Wednesday 20 along with the new console.

Is this possible? Well yes it is, and there is a fact that would confirm: Gaikai purchase by Sony last year. Gaikai is an online gaming service, so it is very likely that Sony wants to get the most out of your purchase. We're not quite sure how Sony plans to implement this service to the PS4, but certainly will be something worth seeing.

Remember, the future console will come out on Wednesday February 20.
