Exactly why would you need a damn dock and a phone that sounds atrocious. Just have an app on a phone for smart TVs and some sort of Google cast for normal TVs. Xcloud should in the end be able to be supported on tablets, smart TVs, Laptops, PCs, everywhere. But I still doubt even Xbox will stop selling the box altogether. It might sell less than it does now and the price might become more premium than it is now because it'll be more of a rarer item with more power but that's it. There will always be some space for local gaming. Flip phones still exist and even brick phones still exist and wall clocks and pocket watches still exist. |
It’s just another option. Not saying it would be the only option. I was responding to somebody that was saying that it would be too difficult for a lot of people to bother figuring out. I’m not sure how a dock would be atrocious, it would be just like putting your phone on your charger. If it’s like the switch, it would automatically turn your tv on and switch to the correct input, nothing to figure out.
there are definitely issues with trying to rely on smart tv apps. I have a smart tv, for one, it rarely updates its apps. I’m guessing something like Xcloud would require lots of updates. Two, not everybody has a smart tv and would need an extra device anyways like you said.
Basically, nothing wrong with more options...
