| Bofferbrauer2 said: 1. Not every country have such data plans 2. The bigger the resolution the higher the data consumption. With a PS4 equivalent you could already count close to 15-20GB instead of the 5GB for Switch hardware. 3. The prices for these plans. Verizon's above unlimited costs 95$ per month, while Sprint's unlimited premium is still 90$. That's way above what most people would be willing to pay. Add to this the price of you subscription and you would easily be at 120$ per month or 1440$ per year. That's just nuts. |
1. I don't see why it couldn't be better in other countries since delivering mobile connectivity coverage in Europe or East Asia is not as geographically challenging as it is North America which need far more cell towers to service less population dense areas ...
2. Game streaming only needs like 5 Mbps for a passable experience ... (~2GB/hr)
3. Prices for these plans aren't that amazing but it'll get better once 5G rolls out in a couple of years and the landscape will definitely become more competitive between mobile network operators in the coming years ...
With all that being said, 2G and 3G are becoming obsolete in the developed markets and there will only be 4G LTE (only fallback) or 5G but what's more is that even the likes of Verizon themselves is entering the game streaming market!
