This.

It's a nice idea but very unlikely because then a business is paying for the hardware rather then you. If gaming is all done on the cloud, the only way hardware would be irrelevant, then who bares the cost for the data centre that has to render the game and pipe it to the customer? Currently the software isn't out there, nor is the bandwith or the customer demand.
