No company can have a successful console unless they can make good exclusives for it. It doesn't matter if this is Google or Apple or all of the oil companies working together. If Google can make some really good exclusive games, then the service might take off, and if it can't or won't, then the service won't take off. It's as simple as that.

Yeah, I agree on that. And although Google is a software company, gaming is kind of a different beast. Microsoft as a software company also struggled to get own content created, they bought studios to achieve that.

You basically just said it all.  If Microsoft needed to buy studios, then Google would have to as well.  I don't really consider this or any news about Google going into console gaming to be significant until I hear they are buying studios or doing something very games oriented like that.  In gaming, the most important thing is games.
