Google is developing a console

I can't begin to describe my loathing for Comcast's service. Because they are a borderline monopoly in many parts of the US, I've had the displeasure of needing to use them continually for over a decade in the Northeast, the West coast, and the Southeast, and I have never received remotely the speed or reliability I pay for. They blame my routers, my computers, my consoles - but refuse to bring their own routers by to demonstrate that being at fault. 3 expensive cable modems from their recommended list later, and nothing's changed. It's shit

By 2030, maybe, but definitely not within the next 3 or so years when PS5 and Xbox Next launch. They will no doubt be conventional dedicated consoles.

As for Google making another streaming device "game console", yeah right, no thanks.

Instant fail.

In the country i reside in, everybody streams everything. Physical has been dead already for a a while.

This would fit in perfectly fine.

Maybe they target it for japan/western europe mainly.

Lol wouldn't hit a dog in da azz with this Google Poodle. :P

@Dogmatic923: Salt from pointing out your bs, all the while you're posting novels of fanboy nonsense lol, who's supposed to be the salty one again?

Gamazon sounds like a villain in a Godzilla movie lol

It's funny that everyone is strictly focusing on the streaming service considering it doesn't have to be the only content delivery vehicle for a console. The hardware specs are completely unknown, but it looks like it started out as an additional feature they were going to add on pre-existing devices but is now stand-alone. That alone should mean there is a probability that it plays games stand-alone.

I can't see streaming consoles replacing traditional dedicated consoles for a very, very long time. Many gamers are going to resist going 100% streaming and any console maker that attempts a streaming only console is going to fail and receive tons of backlash.

And the day that my only option for playing new games is through streaming, is the day that I quit playing new games and just focus on all of my retro consoles.

i don't see what is so bad about streaming games. people seem to like streaming tv shows and movies or even music.

@TheShadowLord07: Please for the love of God tell us you actually know why streaming games is vastly different them streaming movies/music!?!

lolGoogle

fixed

Of course Microsoft won't show their sales, you only show the best part. It's business 101. The only different one is Nintendo since they even showed the flop sales of the Wii U. Disclaimer: I like my Wii U and had a fantastic time with it, but I can still call it a flop because it was.

It depends on the quality of games and the ones you like. I do like phone games a lot. It's simple fun that you can have for free. I also like internet games.

Not the biggest fan of CNN. I just watch the local news and get the national and international news on the Internet. I'm also anti-Trump which is justifiable since he's racist, sexist, and an incompetent idiot.

@comp_atkins: oh boy even better than what I thought XD. Should add another platform for them to get our personal information to sell to ad companies.

Those services dont have to worry about one word "LATENCY".

Lol. I thought the same thing.

Game streaming console is DOA to me. Will not support such a device.

Why would google make a console to stream games? Why wouldn't they just stream them off their website under a game section? Wouldn't that make the most sense?

Then do what netflix does and throw their service on every device that exists. Why risk making their own console?

That's what I've been saying. It was even beta tested off of a device they already have out in tons of homes, but they went the route of making some kind of dedicated hardware. It sounds to me like it's not a streaming only platform.

Streaming games? Low bit-rates? No crisp textures? No BUENO

Also Google? A console that spies on you and has an Orwellian SJW culture.

Greats news! It's good to have another company that understand Hardware and Software to go along with Sony and Nintendo.

Like Apple and Facebook etc., these big corps. miss the point when it comes to games.

Is it even a console if all it does is stream?

All these people trying to jump on the console train with gimmicks like full streaming. Good luck i guess.
