Its not bad overall. Streaming will make it futureproof. Even on a yearly console release. I'm serious when I say that Nintendo needs to talk with these guys. If they can carry the service, it fixes the biggest problem on the system, which is 3rd party games. I don't think that Nvidia will be willing to give it up though.

At first I thought this was really cool, but after reading up on it I've decided I'm not interested at all. I'll be just fine with an ordinary PC and an ordinary console (Wii U in this case)

when you buy one..

Here are some more of them:

And here are some of the launch titles for the Grid streaming serice:

That's a pretty weak line up if you ask me ...

The fact that you can't own the hardware running those high end games makes this platform redundant ...

I'll stick with my PC for now ...

Is it another PC console or an actual console?

To answer your question it is NEITHER ...

It's another gaming platform best described as "Netflix for gaming" ...

Just like how Netflix is to video streaming, Nvidia GRID is to game streaming ...

Should it be added as a new competitor to the big three?

More poweful than the Wii U, 100 bucks less. Yep, I trust people to make the right decision here.

I'm now filled with determination.

The vast majority of Wii U games will not be on it....

I get it! The right answer is to get that instead of a PS4 and XBone because it's cheaper and gives basically the same experiences as the Xbone and PS4.

That is the big question. I'm leaning towards no. Not unless they find a way to add original content. Which means first party games. If this doesn't happen, then I don't think they should be taken seriously as a competitor to the 3.
