Onlive will dethrone Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo soon.

This wont happen. It pretty much be the death of all nintendo characters since nintendo wouldint sell thier characters to onlive.

ok mr youll stick to onlive but guess what, once next gen comes onlive will be graphically inferierer

and wont get no more support ,

lol,

so ya youll still buy new systems , only differences is you dont actually own nothing you buy on it!

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"] 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).Rikusaki

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

Onlive can maybe dethrone steam thats itBanjo_Kongfooie

Except for the fact that OnLive really only appeals to console gamers..

It really has NO chance of affecting the PC gaming market.

Onlive has potential to dethrone the big 3 simply because of the hardware backing it. The rigs they use could pump out cgi movie quality graphics at 60fps and that could be played on a damn macbook. I don't know why they didnt launch with any little games to showcase this. If they do this = win. Because there is no way the big 3 can compete as its not financially possible to sell systems with the same hardware. This is assuming that people will be blown away enough by graphics to buy. The only reason I havent gotten onlive yet is because its a bandwidth hog and cogeco screws me with a 60gb cap :( This is the only real problem with onlive.

WHAT!!!!..Sorry that will never happen..Onlive to me is a waste of money.Owning hard copies of games is the best way..Downloadable games just don't cut it for me.

You don't really own the game with any digital service. With conventional disc based games what you own is the disc. Its contents are property of the copyright holder. With digital all you're getting is the content itself, which remains sole property of the copyright holder.

threads like these are going to be fun to bump in the future

Is onlive even out? Cuz i cant really tell lol
