As far as I know Google Fiber is still not a broadband thing you can buy anywhere, right now there are only specific areas in the U.S where you can get it:

I think is $70 a month (but you have to pay construction fee which I believe is $300)

Hmmm, not crazy about it but just as MS tried to do, Sony is looking towards it as well.

The end of consoles is nigh :(

I've tried going along with it. I've purchased songs on itunes. I have a Netflix account. I have even read some free books on an ipad. But you know what? It's all watered down for me. The songs I bought on itunes? It's just devalued the process for me. I don't feel like I actually HAVE the music. When I buy vinyl or a CD, I get that tactial feeling. I actually OWN it. With Netflix, I have about 30 freakin' movies in my favorite list that I never watch. Why? Because, they're there. They aren't going anyway. I can get to them anytime. And so, I never actually watch anything. Back when we had video stores to rent from, you went in, browsed the store, picked a movie and took it home to watch it. You had 24 hours and an actual movie which meant the night was PLANNED. It was an "event". Now? Not so much. There's nothing special or fun about browing Netflix and hitting a button. As far as books, I enjoyed that, but only because they were free.

I'm sure the reason you can't understand people like me is because we're just wired differently. I admit that it makes little practical sense as far as PLAYING a game goes. But people like me get a sensory thing when we go to a store, buy a game, rip the plastic off, smell the fresh manual and physically put it into a machine to enjoy. We like taking it back out when we're done, sliding it on a shelf and seeing it there next to the other games that we have collected. It's that entire experience that makes it fun for us as a whole. Playing the game is a part of that, but not the entire one. 

That's the best I can explain it for you.

Well, it makes sense for them to do this since they are one of the principal culprits of making console gaming disappear.

It does make sense, since consoles are being sold with little profit/loss.

While people like to fight over HW numbers, the profit is all games (and maybe some peripheral). On the other hand, when you have a new gen, that actually revitalizes the industry. Or at least looks like that.

That would be ironic, PS/MS going "third" before Nintendo.

And that is almost sure to happen, Nintendo is more conservative on that aspect.

You may not be alone, but you are definitely in a small minority, PC has already gone this way successfully. Consoles are part way their already. The majority does not care about the medium of game delivery as long as it works and is affordable.

Sounds awesome! Wish it was where I live.

That's a...very terrifying future.
I'd rather be able to actually OWN the game I buy, and not be tied down to some stupid service. It's what made me despise the X1 at its reveal.

But isn't cloud gaming a lot worse than the digital gaming that we know of now? You literally don't have the data on your hard disk/ memory anymore. They can remove access from you as easily as they can give it. I'm totally fine with digital, since the data is still with you in some form but definitely not cloud. This is worrying.
