I love people saying "The YouTube players will make this huge". Sure, the guys used to watch something for free will pay an expensive subscription (maybe $20+) to play, even though they never played so far. Because there are a lot of people who love video games enough to watch a lot of videos on YT, but are too poor or not interested enough to buy a console or play F2P games, but are rich enough and interested enough to pay a subscription for a sub-par gaming experience. I don't see the demographic fitting this, except the kids able to charge mom's credit card more easily for streaming than for buying.

Of course, you always have stuff becoming popular thanks to weird thinking from the audience, but still, this one is a stretch.

But well, we have people saying "it's a blue ocean innovative product" when it's an already crowded market (even more actors than traditional consoles). So weird thinking can be found anywhere...
