A developer can make just an Xbox Series version of a game and offer it to Xbox One owners through game streaming.  (I recognize that streaming isn't suitable for people with bad internet, or who live too far away from the nearest Xblade server farm, but it's good enough, for enough people, to get the developer "off the hook" for having to also make a version for a rapidly shrinking Xbox One market)

So that's the trend to watch for, IMO.

Definitely streaming is going to change things. I guess it's starting right now. I was thinking the other day how I'd like to get a Series S to put in my living room. I would play there very rarely, but it would be nice to have one there for those rare occasions (I already have an S in the bedroom and an X in the basement. This would be a very low usage machine.)  But then I realized that I'll be able to stream most of the stuff I want to my existing Xbox One. So, I don't need to buy another new console.

I'm a hardcore gamer, been playing since 1982. 1982. And I just decided against the purchase of a console because streaming is available. So what is streaming going to do to the casual gamers who  Don't want to invest money and expensive hardware?

Anyway, I know that's a bit off  of the original topic. It's my long way of saying that I agree with you that streaming could play a role.
