Pachter: The Cloud Will Dominate Gaming Market by 2030

He says that OnLive won't wipe out consoles overnight. It will be a very gradual process.

He pretty much repeats everything I said here in System Wars. :P

So... confirmation that it will never happen. Awesome. Thanks, Rikusaki.

That's 20 years from now, who cares, are you really going to be playing video games when you're 40 years old?

He gave that year so that he can at least go a little while without being proven wrong.

I will, what's so wrong about it??

On topic: if pachter said that, your precious OnLive is screwed Riku.

The guy can't predict what will happen next year and I am supposed to believe he can predict whats going to happen 20 years from now?

Rikusaki

Did you hear about the Homefront special w/ the free Onlive Console, Riku? Because someone posted it on here last night, and that is unacceptable because you are the only person that is allowed to give us Onlive news:P

Patcher is so oblivious and stupid he can't predict what hes gonna say next.

Cloud gaming = LOL. Until the USA gets a network overhaul it'll be just as much fail as it is today. Will I care? Nope. My games will remain on PC locally.

Another failed OnLive marketing ploy by Riku.

Will he even be alive in 2030? lol

Im not going to get into it right now, because it always ends up as a crapstorm, but I think you already know what I'm gonna say.

I agree.

It's just another bad video game stereotype. Would you stop reading books when you're 40? Would you stop watching movies at 40? No. What makes video games any different?

Personally, I will fight personally adopting a system like OnLive. Cloud computing is far to flawed for me to consider it the future.

pachter said it?

Does this mean consoles will dominate everything in 2030? :P

Half-Way

Yeah, 2030, by that time Pachter's a** will dominate the ground. Specifically, 6 feet under. Not a threat, just an "analyst's" prediction.

Ok Pachter. I'll see how right your estimate is in about 19 years.

In 2030 I will be 55 years old so I could care less who dominates it.

[QUOTE="DerpyMcDerp"][QUOTE="Rikusaki"] I can play right now. I don't have to wait for it to dominate the market. ;)Rikusaki

You also have no personal security... OnLive suddenly pull there service, your screwed. Earthquake hits the Onlive servers, your screwed. Cables go down, your screwed. Heck, some security dude takes a piss on the servers, your screwed.

All I need is an electrical generator and I can still play games on my PC....

LOL!

The cloud will dominate the market way before 2030.

Pachter is ALWAYS right! ALWAYS!!:evil:

Did I ever say they did :roll:

I gave examples of situations that would prevent you from gaming, but that would not effect me... I can play games without internet on my PC. Can you on OnLive?

SELL ALL YOUR ONLIVE STOCKS NOW!!!!

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!

[QUOTE="Urworstnhtmare"]

[QUOTE="Rikusaki"] Any of that can happen anywhere. Do the laws of physics only permit natural disasters to occur at OnLive Data Centers? :lol:

You are paying OnLive for a service that you are relying on them to provde for your gaming. I am not. OnLive seems like backwards progression...

Um I will. :|

Urworstnhtmare

That is a rediculous argument and you know it. If the Black Ops servers were down for a mere five minutes, hell would break loose.

OnLive isn't stupid. They have back-up servers all across the nation. If something happened, you wouldn't know.

Its not a RIDICULOUS argument, because its fact. I can live without Black Ops Multiplayer. If anything, lose of internet would actually help me go through my backlog of SINGLE PLAYER GAMES THAT I DO NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION TO PLAY.

Well, I will be like 57 years old by then, so hopefully I will still be into gaming! I may actually be in the clouds by then!LOl
