This is like the phone market for games. It is big, it is growing, but it doesn't replace the console market. 

I don't think PC's or tablets have the capability of replacing consoles. As for streaming services, they are always sub-optimal. 

So, i do think Microsoft has a logical market there, but its going to be difficult to hold both that and the home console market.

You are thinking now, I'm thinking 5 to 10 years in the future. Things are changing quite fast, and dedicated gaming consoles are going to be something of the past.

I'm not saying I want it to be, but that's just how it's going to be.

Not if enough people dont want it that way.

Just gotta keep buying consoles, and they wont go anywhere.

Im pretty sure the first to kill off their console, in favor of a service you stream, is in for a flop & loss of profits on it.

 

Time will tell.
