Its what publishers want. No piracy, and maximized profit margins on top of access from hundreds of millions of devices without having to pay for hardware manufacturing. It will be the future of gaming.

Will those publishers be happy with a smaller subset of the market? Those that don't care about ownership, lag, picture quality and have fast and reliable enough internet to actually be able to use it? 4K HDR will be the big thing in 2020.

I doubt streaming will ever be the future of gaming. A part of the future, just as VR will be part of it. Streaming to VR headsets it simply not doable.

I don't see why it wouldn't be a part. More than likely services will be more valuable than ever if VR takes off. It would get to the point there VR sets are self contained. A big factor in being self contained will be the ability to stream straight to the helmet. Isn't the AR set MS is making already self contained? They include streaming services and it will be streaming heaven. Internet is improving at exponential rates. By the time the 2020s roll around it will be bigger than ever.
