It sure seems like VGChartz is riddled with obnoxious people recently. God forbid I see the advantages of OnLive and the appeal it may have. Its almost like you are personally threatened by this service.

The foreign concept to you seems to be not everyone has a powerful graphics card even though they have a fast processor. Even with lowered settings you can have a choppy frame rate and compatibility issues due to poor graphics hardware.

There are a lot of budget computers on the market today can easily handle OnLIve with no need for additional hardware upgrades. That's the advantage to the service. And if you're a casual PC user, the OnLive service can be much less of a pain in the ass.

But EVERY computer is going to have fast-enough graphics next year! Even the budget office ones.

So OnLive's market will peak this year and only decline after.

Once you have that hardware, OnLive won't be easier to use than, say, Steam.

You assume every computer will have a high end gaming card. But they definitely won't have the capability to play the latest high end games. Especially laptops.

Also the OnLive micro console will be a great choice for people who have a low end computer and don't want to invest into a new computer.
