| RolStoppable said: It's possibly the future for PC gaming, but I can't see it putting an end to consoles. OnLIve is a software solution, but consoles revolve around hardware. With that I don't mean processing power, but the controllers. I could go into more detail, but it really isn't necessary. I'll get straight to the point: People buy Nintendo systems to play Nintendo games. And knowing that, you also know that consoles and handhelds won't go extinct. |
Why won't a company like Nintendo or Microsoft look into an OnLive type solution in the future for their console? Since game companies are looking to kill off the used game market, a solution like what OnLive does could end up being a future model for them. You still need the console to be able to play the games, but that doesn't mean they have to invest billions to take a risk rolling out a new console. And what you said about people buying Nintendo systems to play Nintendo games means people want to play the software Nintendo offers.
