If they are casual with PC, then I think going console is the better way for now, I'm not saying the service won't blossom in the future, I'm just saying with the way some countries are, it's not easy for it to take off.

But the OnLive software is extremely easy to use though. The installation is simple, the interface is simple and doesn't have much settings, you pick a game and it starts. Just as easy as using a console in my opinion.

Seems like hardcore PC gamers hate it. But I see it appealing to the casual market.


I don't hate it, I'm looking at it in the way of customer base penetration, how many people will it actually attract? with the upcoming ways to do motion controls, how will it compete in that market when there is latency in the control and the latency with the player's connection? how much would it be if they were to incorperate a camera, motion controllers and such? I highly doubt they'd give those out for free like cable boxes. Not to mention if you were really seriously thinking about PC gaming, you'd prolly not look at OnLive since the output is nowhere the quality of even a cheap PC atm. It's a pretty tough nut to crack. I'd say it's a little early, and there is a good chance that it will fall very hard and it'd scare off investors in the future when the tech would actually work better.
