I want cloud gaming. I don't see myself replacing consoles anytime soon. But, I do like the XCloud idea of streaming to my TVs around the house, so that I don't have to buy a console for each one. Also, playing in hotel rooms, at friends and family's homes, and even possibly from my phone is appealing *as a secondary option*. At the end of the day, I play a lot of shooters, and I value graphical fidelity. So, I expect I'll be using a dedicated, local device for most of my gaming for a long time to come. But, just like I value the Switch's portability when I travel, I see value in streaming for when I can't be parked in front of my TV.
I certainly hope that Stadia stays around, XCloud does better, and that other entrants show up to move the stuff forward. From what little I've seen so far, game streaming has a long way to go. I want to see it make the journey.
