This new generation of whipper snappers care less about owning the physical media than our generation did. They want everything beamed directly to them instantly. It will be interesting to see if the market caters to the new or the old.
I think I would still prefer to use the controller but It's cool that developers can customize the touch controller and have multiple controllers per game depending on what you're doing in the game.
Of course we're not the goal of their benefits. Their goal is to make money. We win by multiple service providers competing for our business. I'm interested in the new Tmobile 5g home internet myself.
I do! I would prefer to say in the MS ecosystem with regard to streaming. That said, I'll give google a fair shot, they have a few cool ideas. Whether the gaming community embraces them or not is another story.
Even if you're not a fan of streaming games Google and MS are lighting a fire under your internet providers ass to be able to support faster wifi which is good for everyone.
Streaming has been around for sure but not with a target of 4k 60 fps like what they are talking about. I can see sony partnering with Amazon to become a player in this arena for sure. Otherwise, they will be stuck streaming 720p 30fps throughout next gen. I don't think that will fly with most gamers but i could be wrong.
I don't think they are talking about sales though. I own all 3 systems but if someone called me and asked which system I prefer, I would say the name of the system I preferred.
@Phantom,
I agree that it's not viable for sony at the moment. It's more Google, MS and Amazon that can really take the cloud tech to where it needs to get to.
Microsofts Streaming service starts its beta this year.
The "Google Platform" is more appropriate.
Thanks! :)
Maybe not this data per say, but I would still find it interesting to see how this maps across the world. I agree that 40 is a low number to poll. PC mag needs more interns.
I'm on board for the next xbox for sure. Interested to see how close Nintendo and Microsoft get. Sony has become fairly boring to me. They make fantastic games, don't get me wrong. Just not the kind of games me or the family are into. No idea how google fits into this yet. Either way, it's going to be an interesting next gen, can't wait.
Nothing wrong with options, guy. Sony can kick it old school next gen if they want to.
It was, but Microsoft and Nintendo are getting Chummy right now so I wouldn't be surprised if there's crossover from both sides. If it makes business sense and makes gamers happy, why the hell not?
No porn? What's the point of a PC then?
The E3 trailer got me excited about this one. Glad it's still in development.
I thought this was interesting. It would be cool to see a state by state breakdown of the world.

Sony should partner up with Amazon to use its cloud servers. God, I hope Amazon isn't planning the same thing as Google and MS.
