CG, mispeling. xD sorry. Meant, visuals indistinguable from disney animations... But i disagree. bottleneck is input lag. None interactive entertainment would be good enough depending on your internet lag. Streaming works well for no interactive entertainment. Also, why would i need to get stream from anything if a small device (a chromecast sized dongle, or maybe just the controller) can handle anything? In 20 years or more years, id bet that Playstation x would be the controller only. The games would run there, and be transmitted to the tv(tv and controller would still be needed). Or a switch like solution for embracing also handheld gaming. |
A larger device of the same power will always be cheaper, input lag for cloud gaming is already a non-issue for the majority of genres with an ideal setup. As technology advances and the infrastructure with it I think a cloud future is much more likely then a locally powered machine.
Everything will run on nearly any device, because the device you are using isn't powering the software. Consumers can pay for what they want, when they want it. Rather then having to pay an initial investment of $300+ to get started, and then another investment when that device is replaced.
Businesses will be able to monetize their products in a more cost effective way and have greater control over their services as well.
