| hinch said: I don't know how it is in the US and the rest of the world but the 5G coverage is still crap in most parts in the UK. You definitely need stable connection to be able to stream well. Also the type of people who play those games are probably not in the same market as those who play Nintendo consoles. |
It's starting to roll out now en masse, but in 2-3 years it will be everywhere.
There is no real "streaming demographic" I don't think. You can stream whatever you want likely. It's just in the future whereas for most people their home console games were frozen at home when ever they left the house, now you'll be able to access and play the games you have and/or the game service you have where ever and when ever you feel like.
Been playing Cuphead or Monster Hunter at home? Stuck at your doctor's appointment in the waiting room for 30 minutes? You can pull out your phone and continue playing the same game, no fuss.
It's basically going to be similar to what movie/TV media is now ... been watching a show at home on Netflix? Well you can continue watching it on your app on your lunch break at work too. No one really bats an eye lash at that today because it's a standard feature but if you showed that to someone probably even 12 years ago their jaw would hit the floor. It's about letting you have access to your library, even the most current games with you constantly.
