if sony or ms was coming out this this i could see success as a possiblility but without any first party titles, monthly subscriptions, no reduction in cost of buying a game, sub par graphical quality, and i still have to pay for hardware...

...why would anyone want this?


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.

but would anyone want console games on mobile,the major advantage is the big screen experience

this wouldn't be reality atleast till the end of next gen

 

console manufactures will start doing this at the end of next generation

 

online will be bought

 

also this will be detrimental to the current  wants of activision and other companies to charge for online

 

if we had to pay for online itself and then games like with onlive then another online subsciption like XBL and Activision online play charges will go down

 

also you have to pay big time for intenet connection across your devices and companies have been limiting usage
