Every thread gets derailed into utter nonsense.

To all of you Non-Nintendo gamers. Why does it matter to you what Nintendo CEO thinks. He made a judgement call and the man is going to stand by it. Stop acting like dumb asses and make everyone look bad.

In the future, 3rd parties are somehow going to be blamed for Iwata's/Nintendo's refusal to accept cloud gaming (once it takes off after its slow start). It's going to be spun something along the lines of they didn't try hard enough to convince them.

I'm sure if I sift hard enough I can find a point but I am dumb so please help.

I wanna guess!

The point is that Sony fans hate Nintendo fans more than Nintendo fans hate third parties.


What if you are a Nintendo fan who is also a Sony fan and loves Third parties or a Sony fan who is a Nintendo fan who loves Third parties?

Psst. Remember, we don't exist on VGChartz...

Cloud gaming would effectively mean the end of the home console though wouldn't it?

Why would you need a $300 box? Any smart TV could stream a game directly on its own, all you would need is a Bluetooth controller and voila.

Cloud gaming ? Future ? Look at Onlive.

Nuff said.

Once it takes off after its slow start is the key phrase here. Nintendo wasn't too far behind in implementing online multiplayer when it *really* became a force that mattered on consoles (Halo 2, 2004, Mario Kart DS, 2005. Hell, Iwata's famous anti-online quote is 2004). Given that we're still a good 5-10 years off from mass-market viability of full-scale retail titles becoming available on the cloud, Nintendo will surely be ready to come on board once it becomes an actual thing.

I totally agree.

Cloud services are temporary services that can be closed at any time. In short, you dont really own anything with it. They are renting services.

Wouldn't that imply that they are the future, as companies desperately try to wring out more and more revenue from a shrinking userbase?


Did game renting services replace physical purchases before sucessfully? 

Where does your money go if the service is closed? I can understand digital purchases if they are cheaper than physical, they are appealing, but services like this are trouble waiting to happen. PS+ is interesting for example, but if Sony bankrupts and the service goes down, all those free games you got disappear. You cant play them anymore. Its still a much better service than Xbox gold, but the deal breaker is right there. Its wether people become aware of it or not.
