It may not be the thing for core gamers, but for the 100's of Millions of people with internet connections over 10Mbps, this is a serious option. This completely eliminates all barriers into Traditional Home Based, Controller and TV gaming.

Next year, anyone of the 100's of Millions of people with a SmartTV, Set Top Box, Streaming Stick, PC, Laptop, Tablet, or Smartphone, and a 10Mbps internet connection, will be able to play COD2020 against players on PS4/PS5/XBO/XB4/PC for $60 (Stadia + Devices Already Owned) vs $420 (PS4/XBO + XBLG/PS+ + COD) vs $620 (PS5/XB4 + XBLG/PS+ + COD) vs $1,000+ (PC + COD).

I see this as the day iPhone launched, and I said that Hendhelds need to offer Cellular features, or they will die. I honestly don't know how consoles compete with this. I think the damage core gamers have done to Gaming 1st Devices is already too great. Get ready to stream, or pay extremely high prices for the privilege to play locally. Just know, gamers brought down consoles and handhelds, we had the oppertunity to have Handhelds and Consoles in the same potision as Smartphones, Tablets, SmartTV's, and PC's, but most pushed back. Now gamers will get to pay for there choices.

See you on PC, Stadia, and other streaming services.
