Forums - Gaming - If 4k can be streamed why do we even have consoles and pcs anymore?

With new Codec recently 4k streaming has become very feasable

Could this have any use for us gamers?

I'd gladly pay for a subscription for a part of server which lets me run all games in the highest quality there is available, without having any need to invest in anything else beside a good monitor or 2/3

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

LOL "Can" is the key word. We are no where near the point of it being easy for even 10% of people being able to do it. Also streamed content still doesn't have the same quality as Blu-ray.



Cause our Internet Infrastructure is lolz
