So all consoles will sell zero units?

I dont believe a Cloud based console will ever really compete well against physical hardware you own and run in your house. It ll be a downgrade to what a physical product can produce results wise (graphically & lag/delay wise).
The only reason for such a device would be price, it could be cheap as hell for consomers to download a app and have a "console". Thats about it. I still think a cloud based solution would get tough competition from physical hardware, and mainly end up as a cheapo solution that caters more to the lowest denominator.
I ll put money on cell phones becomeing powerfull enough to be mainstream gameing devices in the home, and that eventually we ll all be gameing on our phones. To me this is much more likely than a cloud based console.
The future of gameing could be the Sony Phone vs the Xbox Phone.
I think the first to launch a cloud based console gets a kick to the nuts and fails horribly (compaired to the physical hardware console its competeing against). |
That's the reason why cloud is still not a viable option. But talking about the future (say 2020) with 5G networks capable of more than a gig/s things are going to be different.
And that is why people always talk about cloud as the future. The thing that makes it a stron contender is actually what it can do power wise. It will be much better than a physical console (as you would have powerfull server at your disposal) and it will be upgradable. Take in exemple the xbox game Crackdown3 which promises 100% destructible environment but only online (using clound technology).
The other thing is it will be a very good solution against piracy.
If the Wii U sells 20m I'll swallow my own head.

Exactly. Wii U most likely won't reach 20M, but it sure as hell will be closer to 20M than the XBO will be to 100M. XBO will be lucky to make it much past 60M.

I wonder sometimes if he justs likes to troll. X1 100 million? Nope, I even doubt PS4 doing that. This gen will be much more front loaded and probably shorter. My guess 50m X1, 90M PS4. |
I'll give you the shorter, though, it'll only be by a year or so. But, front loaded? How do you come to that conclusion when the PS4 is up YOY without a pricecut after almost 2 years? This gen will not be more frontloaded than any other. And sales are going to explode again once the price drops to $299, and then again (though probably to a smaller extent) at $199.
X1 100 millions? Like an user above said this doesn't make any sense, why would any of the big 3 give up on console gaming, especially Microsoft when that number would make the X1 their most successful console ever? seriously, someone report Pachter for trolling :^)
Patcher as wrong as usual...
About unified platform and cloud... I believe it will be possible to have decent games with weak HW next gen, but you won't see it being better and stronger than physical HW... anyone expecting internet or any derivation being faster than local machines for any considerable time and cost efficiency won't be very happy.

Great, he jinxed it. Now X1 will never reach 100m :(
