"Its baffling how many miss the fact aside it being a port, how groundbreaking this is. This could mean the end of hardware cycles as we know it if this works well."

I agree. In perhaps less than a decade, between fiber to the home and the rolllout of 5G, internet speeds and latency will probably be to the place where companies can roll out very inexpensive "consoles" that only stream games. Or it could be that the average "normal" computer people already own will be able to stream top-tier games. I don't know that it 100% replaces more expensive traditional consoles, because of rural areas and differences between countries, but it could represent a huge change.
