First! The platform idea needs to include steam. But ultimately none of this makes sense because it follows the essentially main frame idea. That we would have a mainframe in our house that would render our video game games for us... And then clients around the house... Microsoft tried that. Oracle tried that. At no point in the history of computing has the mainframe and client model worked long term. Now what I think does make sense... Is as we have seen in this generation a much lower output of games because development costs continue to skyrocket, I think what we will see is a leveling off of graphical fidelity.. And AAA games will eventually work on the client level computer TV, whatever because we won't see the rat race of performance. Essentially what I'm saying is the technology is going to catch up to the AAA development quality and then it's going to level off and prices are going to come down for the technology and because we will have less games in quantity the games that we do get have to be games as a service to support the astronomical development cost
