No.

But Google will fast track the age of Streaming/digital and fall traditional consoles.

Google are just jumping on the bandwagon. PS Now has been doing streaming for years and Sony were going to greatly expand that with PS5 whether Google announced this or not. MS likewise have their plans whether Google entered or not. 

But none of the 3 are committed. Google is; so they will be seen as the forbringers of the next age.

So what could do Nintendo then ? Their advantage is their exclusives from where they get a huge majority of their profit. Considering this fact, they should remain in the best position of all to transit to the cloud gaming era.

Nintendo is a much smaller company than the others, with a business model rather different than its competition. They are in no rush to transition to cloud-only gaming. Hell, considering the SD sizes and prices in the market and Nintendo's own online infrastructure, they are not even ready for a digital-only system.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Sony are not committed? By the time this thing launches for Google with a handful of games PS NOW will have over 800.

True but commitment would have been the full ps1t/m4 and psp/vita library

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

@Amnesia could you please elaborate on the OP, it's generally advised not to just paste just an article with no other content.

That said, stuff like this happens all the time. Investors panic and/or move on to what they assume is the next big thing, then other people buy in to replace them.

Maybe the ultimate commitment yes but just commitment absolutely not. After the ps1 classic rightfully bombed, I can see them focusing their ps1 efforts on the service now. It's basically in beta mode this gen. Sony will unleash their true vision for the ps5.
