What I feel will be done though is levergaing that power like how MS is proposing. Breaking the game up so that part of its processing would be in the cloud. So those PS3 servers can ultimately be used to handle physics, crowd physics, skyboxes...etc. Those are things that won't affect how smooth a game should feel.
Downside of that though, is the whole always online thing. And that is what I completely do not want, the day when being online no longer is a feature but an absolute necessity. I can get being online to play online multiplayer. But the idea of being online to just play ny game I have is very very unsettling.

I think that's a bad model, too much of a middle ground that soaks up disadvantages with minimal advantage. Commitment should be made towards either one side or the other. Otherwise you're wasting money on hardware that is only partially required and is STILL prone to faults

I agree. Though technically this model is exactly like what you pro of having a console that would cost les but be able to achieve more. So you can have a PS4 that cost $300 but be able to rival physics and group AI that you can only see in much much more powerful PCs. Which in turn frees up resources within the console to be used for other things.
But I don't fel going all in in one direction or the other would ever work. There are just some areas that game streaming simply doesn't work well with.
