_WE_ most likely won't gain anything.  We, on this site, are avid gamers.  The target for now are not us, but the more casual gamer.  The ones still gaming on previous gen consoles or old PCs or are only playing mobile games.

Also UP to 4k.  Who's to say that it won't also do 1080p or 720p thus lowering the required bandwidth.  I for one will be sticking with 1080p for quite some time.  I have no intention of replacing any of my 1080p tv's for at least 5 years.

requirement is 25Mb to 1080p60fps and 20Mb to 1080p30fps from what was said here.

Seems reasonable.  It's a tight fit as far as demographics go that someone would rather spend money on good internet (if they even have access to it and can afford it) vs just buying a console.  Then again if the business model is there streamers could end up saving money since they don't have to buy an expensive console for one, but might save if its a subscription model or if its like a rental model or if there is some discount for 'purchases'.
