Onlive will dethrone Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo soon.

Its really the future of gaming I think. No more need to upgrade, payloads of money every month. I absolutely love this new approach for playing games. I have a feeling this is gonna take off soon. I predict that OnLive will sell more "consoles" next gen compared to the other 3 companies.

Your prediction is wrongwiifan001

No it won't. End of story. The reasons: Very Obvious. I'm sure many will agree with me. My point, this thread has been made in the past by others, proven wrong then, will be proven wrong again.

Microsoft could buy out onlive if it became a threat and Nintendo and Sony could too I guess... I am pretty sure Onlive hurts the PC market most though.

Doesn't those game and Onlive runs on Windows ?

I'll make this very simple. Once the Onlive concept starts to show signs of taking off, all Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony have to do is use the same concept with their next consoles. Onlive will never have the first-party exclusives that the big three have on their systems, and third-party developers and publishers will be more inclined to support them over a startup like Onlive.

All three consoles currently have some form of digital downloads, so how hard would it really be for them to go a step further with their next consoles and go for Onlive's market?

The future may lean towards games being only DD, but it won't have Onlive as its leader.

I would assume a Sales Throne - Wii/ DS

A multiplayer throne - 360 / psp

and a Graphics throne- PC

Onlive can maybe dethrone steam thats it

TC probably doesn't realize that almost half of the US isn't on a broadband connection. I doubt OnLive will even touch gamers that do have broadband, but it sure as hell isn't going to hurt the console manufacturers overall, because they sell units to a lot of people that don't have broadband.jalexbrown

Actually two thirds of internet connections in America don't qualify as broadband.

Actually over two thirds of internet connections in America are below true broadband speeds.

I stand corrected - but my point stands even more true, then. :Pjalexbrown

Aie. Plus you have to consider that the threshold for the FCC is 4Mb down. Onlive recommends a connection greater than 5Mb down.

Well, if you are so sure, invest on them. Maybe you'll become rich. Or maybe you aren't so sure. Your call.Rev3nger

Rikusaki, is that you? :P

But nah, while most of the world is on low internet speeds, Cloud based gaming cannot take over to the masses.

The day it plays Mario, Metroid, Pokemon and Zelda is the day I will concede that it has beaten home consoles forever.charizard1605

onlive will NEVER get either three's exclusives....especically nintendo's

onlive will prolly never have any exclusives itself...THAT'S why it won't dethrone it

Then your internet goes down and you can't play.. failthetruespin

Did you not read about the reviews praising Onlive? They used corporate broadband with speeds of 60Mbps and still saw compression artefacts.... Nough said..JohnF111

Seriously, what kind of way is that to review this product?

I wonder if the performance is really even all that amazing with 5Mb down, to be honest. I've been on 5Mb down connections, and they still couldn't stream video in real-time (no buffering).jalexbrown

OnLive's method of video compression is far, far more advanced.

Don't see why they're using Pc versions when it turns out to be worse than console versions.

I think the problem with this would be people's access to internet, as well as the trend of internet providers capping data

Exactly, it totally depends on the games available for it.
