This will be a long process.
Google will build the infrastructure, and in about 5 years, this thing will eat up the whole market. And they'll be the ones with the most gas going. More developers on board, more money, and games made specifically for this kind of thing.
It kind of reminds me of the PlayStation. New games are gonna come that are tailor made for this kind of thing. And then in the future, most genres will be playable in a decent fashion. Nintendo will survive, because all of their power comes from within. Microsoft will do well, because they are software and service based, and will likely develop an alternative service that does the same thing.
Sony however, is FUCKED... in my opinion. Because their feet will be tied to the hardware side of things, and this will greatly diminish their ability to do this well.

You know that Sony were the first ones with the same type of streaming service, and have been doing it for years, right? Playstation Now?
I love when people say "So innovative, the other companies are DOOMED", when the other companies have been doing the same "innovation" for a long time.
Too early anyway, we not only need fast internet speeds, we need people to be confident in their internet speed and stability. It's pretty far away. And people saying "Netflix did it" should think a bit more. You don't care about latency with Netflix as long as it's loading fast enough. For gaming, you will get bored quickly if you keep dying because of latency.
