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

And you think companies will move to a model where they make less money? At one point you`ll see your cloud solution ending up in average costing more than buying the HW and SW one a 6 year cycle (that is plenty of time on technological world).
