Stadia honestly looks more like a product for people in poorer countries where conventional console or PC hardware is too expensive due to local economics or trade issues.

DOA.

There are some exceptions, but generally speaking, poor countries don't have the best internet speeds.

They would not be able to afford hardware, but somehow be able to afford a subscription service + Crazy fast internet?

Lol, and I run 1920p on PS4 pro, bruh

XBox One X has the lowest install base of all though

It's not aimed at the pixel counters. It's for those who prefer convenience, mp3 over CD, Netflix over Blu-ray, Digital over physical.

Yep, including the foggy lens, hence the slight blur :p

So much for people paying for 4K. I wonder if the HW they launched with is as powerful as they say. This is why if you want the best in graphics, local HW will always be the way to go. The infrastructure just isn't there, yet, for low lag true 4K streaming.

Compression has not been kind to Stadia I see.

No. As it is right now - Stadia is very expensive for what it offers.
