I dont think gaming will ever be primarily based off streaming. Its just too cost prohibitive.
There is just no way around this, if 1M people are playing Let say Horizon at the same time. At exactly the same time, you are going to need a 1M servers that can run ome million instances of that game fir 1M gamers, or even more expenzive servers where each one can run 2 instances of thr gane fir 2 users. Either way its expensive. Very.
Consoles require the consumer pays for most if not all of the hardware. Streaming requires that the platform holder pays for all of the hardware. Its just not feasible. It would always be cheaper and more efficient selling hardware to consumers.
Ninty, well..... nintendo will nintendo. But there is an angle nintendo can take. I believe the will see success if they go for a handheld console thats poeerful enough to pass for a respectable home console too when plugged into a TV.
