Streaming video games doesn't do it for me due to the added latency and all that.

It just becomes so unnecessarily cumbersome. Why would anyone want THIS to be the future of gaming?

Its inevitable. At the point at which it stops becoming cumbersome (10-20years), it'll become the dominant form of consumption. He may be a generation off but you're merely clinging onto tradition if you don't think having the ability to stream any title on any piece of hardware won't be a compelling option for consumers. Also the death of console generations doesn't mean the death of physical hardware.
