But why even do it this way. Why not use the cloud power to completely render the game and stream it to your system. Gaikia could do it, and it would mean it could be more powerful than anything on the market for years to come.. 

 

Rendering of graphics/displays is already done using onLive, and even application services like Terminal Server and Citrix, unfortunately as onlive has shown (and anyone who uses terminal services/citrix) its just not fast enough yet for high quality graphics. But in terms of data, graphics is certainly a higher bandwidth than small amounts of processed data.

Yeah i get that, but did you use gaikia before they pulled it down? It was pretty impressive even over my sorry internet connection at the time. Now that i have an upgraded connection I’m really interested in what it could do.
