Geforce now is great. The quality eclipses any of the other Steaming options. I would love if MS and all companys allowed their games on the service since you still have to own them to play them anyways. Id also love if Ms stopped using Series consoles for their new games on xcloud going forward and instead used PC hardware as i believe the series consoles are whats holding their quality/latency etc back compared to Geforce now. 

Probably a cost issue.  Getting XCloud to scale using your own hardware compared to PC.  Nvidia of couse has an edge here with using their own hardware for their service.  I will say that XCloud works way better once I upgraded my net speed.  I usually use it to test whether or not to actually download games from GP after giving them a go on XCloud.  I did that with High on Life for about 2 hours play which was pretty smooth experience with a few microblocking artifacts during play.

Personally I believe that the Xbox hardware is more responsible for the rendering of the image not the latency.  

I was under the impression that since they are using series x hardware for the rendering and then that hardware also being used to stream the game it was holding it back as it didnt have much extra headroom. I was thinking this is why we dont have 4k streaming on xcloud. I also believe Ms have enough money to switch over to PC hardware for their future games and its something i really wish they would do. Id also imagine if they did it would even get more Series X gamers to use the service as they could have the games looking even better than the Series X versions.
