It's not certain, but it does seem likely to me (and I've seen gaming analysts say the same). It won't happen soon for sure, the internet infrastructure isn't there yet even in many 1st world countries including the US, let alone developing markets, but I do think it will eventually become the main way to play games once the countries find a way to get high speed internet to rural areas (possibly white space internet or super Wi-Fi will do the trick). Will traditional consoles/handhelds die entirely? I doubt it, at the very least Nintendo should keep that flame burning, but I do think streaming will surpass consoles eventually, just like movie streaming surpassed Blu-Ray. |
It will take 10 years at least before game streaming really takes off.
