It blows my mind that it doesn't seem like people aren't appreciating how disruptive this is. Convenience is king, and being able to play anything anywhere, being backed by a company as big as Google is going to rock gaming. I'm personally excited for this.

Whats so great about it? I don't mind gaming on a console. I don't want to play God Of War on my phone or a laptop. I don't go out and suddenly get desperate to play a game. I just wait until I get home where Im comfortable.

There's no reason you couldn't play this on your TV.

The potential for this is near limitless. The convenience is obviously one thing. The other is that hardware upgrades aren't forced on the consumer. In the same way that Youtube's resolution increased in time without needing to buy a new computer, within reason you'll have that same constant upgrade in power without needing to buy new hardware.

Even if you're someone who likes playing at home, unless you're someone who literally never leaves your house, just the convenience of being able to play on another TV in your home or in a friend's house or in a hotel room instantly with just a controller is convenient on a level even beyond what the Switch provides.
