... you guys do realize this was the core of the Xbox One when it was first announced right?

"the power of the cloud", remember?

Yes.  But that was also a traditional console maker targeting traditional gamers, who were having none of it.  Stadia is going to be targeting non-traditional gamers or those who don't care about hardware.  Basically not most of any of us here.

Fast forward 15-20 years from now and I bet dedicated gaming hardware will be few and far between.

There are absolutely going be people who want to be able to play on any screen with zero restrictions and get the same performance everywhere and the same performance as the then game consoles.

As for pricing.  Could very well be the same prices we are paying now.  In other words same as buying PS+ or XBOX Live and buying the game on their stores.  Nothing more.

I will still be buying PS5 and PS6 (if that will exist).

Maybe 15-20 years from now, and dedicated gaming hardware will be rare .... but maybe not. I've heard it all before, still there's just something about using a game controller on a dedicated game console on a TV that keeps people coming back, and I don't see that going away any time soon.
