I do not have three of any console right now.   I have two XBones, as I said.  I only have one PS4.  This lack of a console on every TV is a big part of what makes me interested in streaming.  

My math is based on the expected $500 launch price of next gen systems.  I'm not inflating anything.  I'm using reasonable numbers to demonstrate how streaming may work well for some gamers.  

I'm not sure why you're getting so worked up over someone else having different gaming priorities than you.  Streaming services may be good options for some gamers, like me.  If you don't like streaming, don't buy it.  There will still be consoles, especially if streaming fails to deliver quality experiences.  So, I see no reason that anyone should dislike streaming as an option for people that are interested.  

I do not expect that streaming will replace local devices for me anytime soon.  I am hoping that streaming will supplement consoles, and add a new gaming option for me, and anyone else that's interested.

If you don't have 3 consoles (and also didn't buy 2 of the same console at launch) you are putting their price at inflated rate just to favor your argument. You are being far from reasonable.

I have no problem with you preferring streaming, I was putting on against your arguments in favor of it. When you say "I prefer streaming", all I can say is "ok, enjoy"; but when you say "I prefer streaming because of x,y and z" them I can discuss the x,y and z.

I'm not going to argue math with you. You seem to be deliberately ignoring my point.

At no point have I said that I prefer streaming. I've never streamed a game in my life. I'm simply excited about the *possibilty* of playing quality games without being tethered to a box on a specific TV.  I still don't understand how that causes you any sort of problem. There's literally no reason I can think of for someone to dislike the existence of streaming services.

Anyway, you're talking about things I haven't said, and pretending not to understand my points.  Not much fun having a conversation with you when you do that.
