Console makers don't want to waste billions developing hardware that will already be obsolete at launch. They also don't want to have to lose out on profits to secondhand markets which are making more pure profits than they do. They also don't want to have to worry about piracy, people trying to mod their consoles, or if some big problem happens like the RROD, to pay for those repairs. Its just a big mess.

A streaming service means they don't have to worry about stuff like RROD, Gamestop, game prices dropping like a stone 2 weeks after launch. They also don't have to worry about shipping pallets of consoles across oceans and haggling with game stores, distribution and the like. All of that could be extra savings and more profits.

Streaming will be one of the biggest and most efficient things that will ever happen to gaming. Not just for the companies, but for consumers too. No more limited edition bundles selling out and having to fight scalpers to get a system you want. No more travelling all over to look for a game that sold out. No limited presses of games and then incredible prices on ebay later. All your game shopping can be done from the convenience of your home. This will be the true equalizer for everyone.

And i don't think they want to lose millions of gamers too by making it streaming only
