Even if absolutely none of what Cerny is saying comes true its an incredibly smart business move because GAF and similar communities will eat this stuff up and buy a PS4. Win win situation.
I'm hoping the dynamic favors premium games (even if it'd just be premium by iOS standards) rather than just freemium. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of why that took off on iOS is because it's a poor setting for serious controls, and thus few want to make that investment, and those that do just want to win easily.
Isn't it more of a "Steam... the console"? iOS implies a load of free to play games, and while those are present on the PS3/PS4/Steam as well, there are really not that many of them.
I definitely think this will encourage more developers to port their mobile games - especially those that try to emulate the big console game experience.
