Yes, but not for MANY years. Besides numerous technological orientated design issues and special requirements. It's just badly desiged. A succeful new tech needs to have a reason why consumers want it. OnLive only meets a niche crowd not a masses.
If OnLive wants to succeed. It needs to work with other hardware manufacturers to provide the necessities built into the system itself. Thus making it completly transparent to the user. Essentially have the iPhone play Crysis with a $2-5 download app, plays the real game, but the user never sees anything different.
Finally Onlive will be more succeful in the portable category and won't be able to succefully penetrate until City Wide internet infrastructure costs aren't a joke. I pay $40 for my home internet. If I pay the same for a City WiFi of the same costs then it will be worth it.
So as it is. No OnLive is no good and a non worthwhile tech. It's pretty darn cool though.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
