This is the future. Whether you like it or not.

Probably, but I don't see the benefit to gamers. If downloading a game and massive patch is too much, then buy physical or stop releasing half finished games.
Streaming, IMO, is a solution to a problem caused by moving to digital

It’s great if the server hardware is good. Like on Geforce Now, I played Control there instead of on my RTX-incompatible PC.

That's the catch for me, IF.
My disc works in my console. End of story
My downloaded digital games work without the internet...somewhat
Streaming games has too many variables for it to a viable mass market product. Internet speed, server states, ISP caps, popularity of game, genre of game.

Both Sony & Microsoft are positioning streaming as an option. Google/Luna are the ones pushing a stream only future and we know what happened with Stadia (I know it is still there but what its future looks like is an open question.)
My concern with streaming is we have less control over it than we do with our own local set up. If something is wrong we can look at it or try to figure it out ourselves since we have the equipment right here but with streaming, if things go bad you are pretty much stuck and are dependent. I don't like that.

I sold my One X prior to Series X launch, so I split my time between my PS4 Pro and game streaming on my phone. Honestly it wasn't bad at all. Obviously I don't love playing on a tiny screen, but actually Forza worked great for me. Also didn't feel the lag too badly for any game I played. Of course I haven't touched it since I got the Series X.
Where I see this being big is anyplace where people have a commute, or for playing on lunch break, or for gaming while traveling. I could see Gamepass being successful in Asia, where gaming is mostly done on phone or PC anyway

That's why I said, its the future. Eventually it will get there.

It's a future. For those that choose to use it.

Nah, native hardware will get smaller, stronger and cheaper over time too. We have no idea which option will be the most commercially viable in 20 years.
What we do know right now is most people don't give a shit about game streaming even when it's given to them for free.

Let's hope it stays that way.

The home streaming?
What are you streaming to? I've seen lots of people complain about it looking like crap on iPad.. but looking ok on their phone.
My Xbox is wired to the network.. and the wireless is AC... I was hoping for a lot better than it is.

You can have it.
I'll still buy my own hardware thank you very much, even if it becomes a specialist market that comes with a premium. Gaming PC's and the ability to build one will never go away.

I think it's HDMI or DP cable and not Ethernet.

People tend to look at cloud gaming from the enthusiast perspective. But streaming probably never satisfies the enthusiast.
It doesn't really need to be great to take off either, just good enough. Stadia was largely good enough, but selling games at higher than average prices in air hasn't struck the right note yet. Maybe, GP via the cloud is a better fit to get people started. We'll see. It does seem inevitable. Deniers sound a lot like the similar voices from back in the day when streaming movies and music was a new thing.

It's a docking station; and they make a big show of claiming it's only for capturing the video.. which they show like.. 5 seconds of, and could easily have recorded at any time.
(it's almost certainly connected to ethernet when they are actually playing)

Sure, when:
- Data caps are gone.
- WiFi interference is gone.
- When you are able to play trough WiFi and mobile network without having to worry about lag, data caps or any connection issues at all.
- Everyone has access to high speed Internet.
There's also crap like publishers not supporting this. How many streaming subscriptions do we have to buy?

I beat A Plagues Tale on Xcloud. There were moments that I forgot I was streaming. It's not perfect, but it is indeed the future.
Stadia was my main "next gen console" prior to Series X and PS5 launch and it was damn near perfect experience-wise. I put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Destiny 2, Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. It's the real deal for those of us who don't have to worry about broadband speeds or data caps.

I have gigabit and ~10ms pings to google's DCs.
I know the tech works; it's still not necessarily "the future."

This is the perfect formula. I've been waiting this for a long time. But gameplay videos don't look very good. I hope it will be better when it comes out. I expect an experience close to "Geforce Now".

Kevin is my new man crush. Dude embodies that fun gamer spirit with technical knowhow. What's not to crush on. I'm super impressed with xCloud and it's not a forced option, it's complimentary.

I've had rock solid performance in SoCal on TMobile LTE so
Definitely, I'll always prefer local gaming but when I can pick up exactly where I left off when traveling to the in-laws that's a game changer. When I can try out a game on gamepass without having to download the entire thing, game changer.
