Exclusive: Research Shows Cloud Gaming Could Boom - MMORPG.com
For a while, we’ve known that cloud gaming has huge potential. Xbox, PlayStation and NVidia have either launched or are planning some kind of game streaming service. Google Stadia is set to emerge for early adopters later this year. And Shadow let us put their technology to the test, reviewing both the service and set-top box.

If this did take off and become the new norm, what would this do to companies like NVIDIA?
relax it wont, most of world are not even close this this lvl of speed for internet, plus like all data, you need to question it, by who paid and what agenda is behind.
its wishfull thinking at the very least, or they will launch regional servers to everyone? I doubt, for this little idea of then launch they would have to give a huge investment, with would be a big gamble, with they won't they will be mosdets with will give a hell of problems
No one asked me so that's already proof this is a load of nonsense. The misleading charts are already a red flag of bullshit.
The people they asked game at least 1 hour a week? 1 hour a... week?? Bought 1 game in the last 6 months? They aren't gamers. They just asked anyone that was willing to take part in the survey.
Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense. No point discussing this at all. I absolutely hate crap like this being passed off as some kind of factual analysis.
Asking a gamer would accomplish nothing,gaming always matters about the individual games more than anything.Cloud gaming like everything in gaming now a days is only an idea to make loads of money,VR is there to make money,cash shops,early access,crowd funding everything is about making money.
All i ask for is some quality developers to arrive,tired of seeing so much crap that looks like it was revived from the 90's.You could ERASE 98% of Steam and not miss any of those games.The market is trying to sell us everything and anything and sadly lot's of dummies out there that just can't wait to hand over their money.
We are seeing the big games show a little more glitter and it is fooling people,the actual game play in most games is downright terrible.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I don't trust any research unless I can see how the research was performed, the data collected, used, etc and especially who paid for the research and what conflicts of interest there are if any.

Cloud gaming is great for those 1 million F2P cash shop epidemic. I won't have to spend 2 hours downloading it just to play it for 10 minutes then uninstall. I can go on cloud, play it for 10 minutes and say goodbye to it forever.
Agree, Maybe you have to pay to unlock it.
daysorry week gaming ...If it meant less focus and less sales on normal gaming PC hardware, it would make gaming PC hardware more expensive as a product for smaller niche.
I already do something like this in the sense that I've been an Origin Basic subscriber for a couple of years. They're not a streaming service and their offering is quite limited compared to what a third party licensing from a larger pool of studios could offer, but I still see value there and get more than my money's worth compared to separately purchasing the games they have that interest me.
If the option is to outright buy the game and play this way vs. buying and playing the current way there is just no contest in my mind with cloud gaming losing out.

I want to play my single player games without interruption when my internet is acting up, when someone else in the house is hogging all the bandwidth watching netflix, or when I am on an airplane. Until I can do all that I have zero desire for any cloud service.
Now if some new, fast, stable internet delivery comes about, there might be a chance. Til then, nope.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
You are aware that cloud gaming still needs the hardware to run it on the back end. Nvidia has a built out method to already do this called Nvidia Grid it would just end up stepping up sales of that. In fact it could become that they make more money overall. Plus cloud gaming will be more a thing to augment things slightly not to full on replace them in all likelihood at least for a good long while. Maybe at some point we'd hit the point where latency is no issue.
