With a good internet connection supposedly you could get more compute power than  PS4 Pro and XBox X combined. 

The problem are

1.It such a rare to find a stable condition even on a great ISP on high speed

2.Not all Internet model and ISP with high speed has a great ping and unlimited data caps

3.If it's subscription payment model , people who prefer own games they buy will not interested with this

4.Speed Internet connection is not a guarantee you have zero lag response , even on controllable condition there will be a lag.

5.PS5 and Xbox 2 will be more powerful and we don't know how powerful they will be if you think Stadia is better on spec. 

1. Is it really that rare?  I know I live in a college town, but i've been logged into the same DSL session for this entire year so far.

2. Sure.  I think this is going to be a slow ramp up and internet over wireless probably need not apply.

3. Agree also to this, so again its going to be on the outside to the core.  First it will be casuals and streamers/content creators, then less casual gamers, etc.  The last to fall will be us Physical only people.

4. Of course there will be lag, but their attempt to address this is probably one of the best i've seen, far better than what SONY came up with.  Also input lag is not necessarily important for all people or all games.  <100ms input lag will be enough for many people.

5.  I agree that comparing Stadia's current performance to those aging consoles is a bit much.  However, the rumored PS5 specs seem like something Stadia would easily be able to be on par with by the time of the rumored PS5 launch (2020).

6. If google shuts down Stadia, your entire game library on that platform is no longer able to be played.

6.  This is a problem already for any person who buys digitally.  Obviously it's much less likely that SONY just goes completely dead tomorrow and all your digital stuff poofs than it is for Google to abandon Stadia in two years like some predict.  However, I think they want to be in on this for the long haul.  Even if this were only just google play game apps on all devices everywhere it would still be a profit maker.  If they can pull off Triple A games everywhere and everyone but us diehards buy into it, it will be massive.
