Xbox 360 vs. OnLive

If you've been keeping up with the gaming industry at all as of late, then you have probably been hearing alot about the future of console gaming being "console-less",if you will, thanks to Palo Alto, California based OnLive, who claim to be the purveyors of such a future. No shit!

A console which will become outdated or a device with limitless posipilities... it's a hard choice.

XKRUCI86104d ago

Learn to spell.

it is limitless if not everyone has broadband connection, or broadband connection that is up to par with the better ones.

"console-less"

360 will win this one hands down. You'll be console-less when it's out for repairs.

DeadlyFire6104d ago (Edited 6104d ago )

This article is very one sided.

Where are the other consoles and Streaming formats? There is also Playcast and OTOY to come as well as OnLive. Also PS3, Wii get no part in this debate? Hell with something like one of these streaming services think of what the Wii could play. Still though depending on the bandwidth at home.

Only way these services will stand is if they come with a console.

Crapbox is dated already, yet Onlive can't/won't deliver any time soon. Onlve is nothing but vapourware.

This will give PC gaming a new lease on life. No longer will the poor ol' console guys be left out in the cold because they can't afford a good PC.

aldesko6104d ago

If you can't afford a decent PC, I doubt you'll be able to afford the internet connect you'll need to stream HD visuals/audio plus the subscription fee (which will probably be hefty).

Pekka6104d ago

I doubt this is a threat to consoles in several years. First of all you need extremely fast broadband to stream all that data. Second, lag is going to be horrible unless there are hundreds of servers and all of them have to be extremely fast.

Tony P6104d ago

Summer is almost over and the Onlive Beta hasn't begun as promised. Still waiting on anything at all besides articles about "amazing" demos behind closed doors.

Also, "360 vs Onlive"? Isn't this more an industry wide issue?

NexGen6104d ago

Yeah, it's definitely an industry-wide issue. Beyond that, the author fails to realize that onlive intends to stream console content as well, if it gets off the ground.

Mr_Bun6104d ago

I was waiting to hear about hands-on experience at E3....instead I didn't hear 1 thing about OnLive

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

dveio14d ago

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.

Jingsing14d 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.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

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

S2Killinit14d ago

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

Jingsing14d 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.

Tanktopmaster9214d 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
