Knowing Microsoft, I don't know if they will ever allow that. Streaming? Absolutely...but not natively. Just like Google doesn't allow apps to be bought outside Google play (legally) and Apple doesn't allow apps to be bought outside Apple store, MS can't allow a competing ecosystem to sell games on Xbox natively.
With that said, I can see Xbox becoming a game platform over time that lives everywhere and in other app stores. Android, iOS, Windows Phone game streaiming? Why not?
With Balmer gone, looks like Microsoft is back in the business of selling software and cloud services.
