No one thinks gaming will be a streaming only service but that doesn't mean there isn't a market for it.
Let's put it this way, you know Cinemas still exist right?
Hmm, pie.

They also don't want to have to lose out on profits to secondhand markets which are making more pure profits than they do. They also don't want to have to worry about piracy, people trying to mod their consoles, or if some big problem happens like the RROD, to pay for those repairs. Its just a big mess. A streaming service means they don't have to worry about stuff like RROD, Gamestop, game prices dropping like a stone 2 weeks after launch. They also don't have to worry about shipping pallets of consoles across oceans and haggling with game stores, distribution and the like. All of that could be extra savings and more profits. Streaming will be one of the biggest and most efficient things that will ever happen to gaming. Not just for the companies, but for consumers too. No more limited edition bundles selling out and having to fight scalpers to get a system you want. No more travelling all over to look for a game that sold out. No limited presses of games and then incredible prices on ebay later. All your game shopping can be done from the convenience of your home. This will be the true equalizer for everyone. |
Does have a few personal draw backs. No more console looks choices. I want this decal, I want this color etc. And nothing to go and get signed. Not even a system. Just a 8X10 of artwork/photo.
