Cause you can play console games on mobile devices. I have the 1 year trial. I wouldn't pay for what they offer so far, but with improvments it could be a cool service. If you live in the US you should try it for free. They have some cool features like 30 min trials of games. The graphics could be a little better, and the lag is noticable, but those are things that can only improve in time. I hope this service and steam merge someday when they are ready. It will be the ultimate convienence for gamers.
And the hardware you would pay for would most likely be devices you buy anyways. It would mean you wouldn't have to buy game specific hardware. You could use your at home computer, your laptop, and maybe even your iphone/ipad or other devices someday.
