"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.

I believe cloud gaming will be a good deal in the coming years for people who like pc gaming, have a decent internet, but can't afford a high end gaming pc. So they can pay an affordable price for a service that allows them to play very demanding PC games in a shitty laptop.
