Hmm, then I would suspect that their data is completely flawed. I wonder if MS could show usage numbers for Xcloud because I am sure it will be shown to be very low. I use it once and in while but only to test whether or not a particular game is worth downloading to my Xbox. It would be hard to say that cloud gaming will be as big as they project with the current net infrastructure. |
Thing is, they aren't even saying that xCloud/Cloud Gaming is big.
They're saying it's a "fast growing market" but not that it's big, Lol.
They "estimate" it will be a ~$1bn market by 2026...In a $180bn Gaming Market.
It's all speculative nonsense with no facts behind it. Just throwing shit to a wall and seeing what sticks.
Best thing about this is that content doesn't mean shit if ISPs don't improve their infrastructure, they claim Microsoft can't have WoW/Overwatch/CoD etc. Because they're essential to Cloud services (which they aren't currently on) but also ignore the 10 year deals because Activision-Blizzard maybe would have made deals as an independent entity, a random guess, whilst also predicting the Cloud market will be big, maybe, sometime in the future, who knows.
All the while ignoring that ISPs are the biggest barriers to the Cloud Gaming market.
