If somehow Amazon manages to get streaming PC games right and its a viable service... Steam / Valve could face their first serious competitor in the PC space in a long, long time.

Daniel_Potter4451d ago

Not really
Steam's latest "In Home Streaming", allows any computer to stream. You don't even have to buy their product unlike Amazon's console or Nvidia Shield, you just need the Steam Client to stream between the 2 machines. It's still in beta though.

IF (big IF) Amazon does this and is serious about it, there is nothing stopping them from spreading it. They are good at getting their service out there, and just giving their stand alone products a slight edge.

Kindle is available on pretty much every device there is, but you get discounts and free rentals on Kindle readers.

You can stream their movies to anything, but again its more geared to Kindle and their products.

Music cloud was built for Kindle, but runs off PC.

I honestly didn't notice a difference until I got a Kindle Fire. Which is good in a way. Nothing stopping them from offering a streaming service for games too, but give their device an added little bonus. Which would basically complete their entertainment adventure (books, music, movies, games)

It would make for a hell of a service if they did this and then started pushing their services further instead of adding new branches. Imagine paying 99 dollars a year and getting all of this, and content is more updated than it is today.

I might buy this if it can play PC games.

Kayant4451d ago

Interesting shame it will be limited to 30fps.

The tech sounds a lot like what MS say they can do will azure. I await to see if MS can do what they said they can with the exclusives in future.

I love Amazon, so they can just take my money now because they're almost always guaranteed to deliver.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing25d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9225d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit25d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing25d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9225d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
