Really you are asking why don't you spend $200-500 console or $750+ on PC, instead of using a device that you already own. The cost of entry for streaming is only $50(controller). Besides, Xbox model streaming is seen as an alternative way of playing when away from your console or PC. The new Luna service announces by Amazon really pushing streaming as an alternate way into gaming for a really cheap barrier of entry. If you can't see the appeal for some people, you are probably in the camp that thinks buying a next-gen console is stupid when RTX 3080 & 3090 will blow away the power of said consoles. It's all about cost, especially if you're not that passionate about gaming. |
Funny thing is that high end phones can cost a thousand or more. I don't see a future where casual gamers carry around a controller to play AAA games on the go. I can perhaps see people using it in their house with streaming sticks/other devices but that's about it. How many people do you see in public playing smartphone games with a controller? Very few if any. I have yet to encounter anyone in public playing on smartphone with a controller. Maybe it happens in other countries but not much here in US
