I dont believe a Cloud based console will ever really compete well against physical hardware you own and run in your house.

I ll put money on cell phones becomeing powerfull enough to be mainstream gameing devices in the home,

and that eventually we ll all be gameing on our phones. To me this is much more likely than a cloud based console.

 

The future of gameing could be the Sony Phone vs the Xbox Phone.

Can you really picture yourself playing an FPS, action, fighter, etc game with touch controls? Phones will never be the home console. Screens too little aswell.

What people keep forgeting is that despite all the technologies that have surfaced in the past 10-15 years we still use a generic controller to play games.

Motion control was a succesful gimmick for a while and now it's just the past, as for smartphones and touch screens they will always be viewed as a fun way to pass some time in the bus or something. Just a market for casual gamers (and kids) to spend a couple bucks to kill some time.
