I'm a cloud and stream enthusiast, so it's bad news for me to see gaming will be one more generation trapped in this is archaic business model where we need to upgrade our hardware every 6 years when everybody else in the world already living in the cloud world  unchained, unconstrained 

And enter an age where the people who uses cloud upgrade their phones every 1 or 2 years =p revolutionary.

But phones upgrading every 2 years is nothing but planned obselence. In reality is the exactly opposite of what I'm stating.

In a cloud world your devices are nothing but a way to connect with the cloud, and they will be as cheap as possible. Customer's hardware will be a design product rather than a TI product, the full power will be on the internet and servers infrastructure. Wants to play the new game? Just sit down and connect to a new server, no more wondering about specs!

It's sad news infrastructure can't catch up gaming industry just yet. It will take at least another decade and then almost everything else will be cloud-based, not only media and entertainment, but financial services, marketplace, etc
