I've been seeing an increasing number of rumors about this recently......

I hope that people have the option of either buying the games and playing them natively on a new console, or streaming them to any device with high enough specs to stream them. The internet quality in my area just isn't good enough for game streaming yet, I need games that can be played natively.

Even if you have the worlds fastest internet speeds, it will still suck (if your far away from the server thats doing the rendering).

Why? Input lag.

With a home console, you press a button on your controller, the signal doesnt need to travel that far (generally your console is close to you).

With a Streaming server, the button press of your controller, that signal needs to travel half ways around the world (maybe) and will result in much much higher input lag.

 

Streaming service for gameing will always be a worse experiance, than owning physical hardware yourself.
