First of all, it will eliminate the disgusting system wars and make gaming a united community. Most of you will say, System Wars is great, ok. Why? Because you always want to insult someone, someone who shares your hobby? That's bullocks. With a universal console the only "wars" that will remain will be basic opinions about games and skills. There will be less murders and crimes because of games. Whatever lawyers say("Violence in games affects children"), we all know that it's not as much violence in games as much as violence between themselves that makes gamers want to kill and commit crime in reality. Because I seriously see over-violence considering platform discussions, and I constantly meet more and more disfigured and dumbed-out fanboys(I understand fanboysm as a professional opinion, but often it goes beyond limits). Onlive seems as a great way to solving things up, and I sincerely hope that the devs will pull it off at an international level.

Just imagine! There won't even be bashings regarding Sony and MS: Because you will always be able to play on a Notebook which was made 5 years ago god knows where. And arguing about internet providers won't be a tendency for too long, because clearly Onlive will even further provoke the implementing of broadband internet all over the world.

And think about the games themselves. There might not even be sequels as such. On an isolated server, developers can in real-time improve and add to their games, andinstantly share the creation. Onlive will also most likely take over movie distribution, because if it delivers 60 FPS at 720p, considering the real-time calculations of keypresses, films won't be a problem.

There are also other companies like Onlive - which will probably introduce themselves on the upcoming E3. Like Infinitum Labs's Phantom console, which has been in development since 2002(Like Onlive), Acclaim's similar Gaikai system, another browser-based system called Streaming Worlds, or the OTOY company's mysterious project. There will be many of them, but Onlive has the broadest possibilities, and the greatest potential. But they won't be worth fighting over like consoles - They will most probably coexist, like search engines, with Onlive being Google.

And the future even further might introduce internet-based operations on phones, handhelds, maybe the micro-console will take over TV channels. Maybe onlive will become a universal mass-media source - who knows. But I sincerely hope, without being over-optimistic, that it will at least be a gamer uniting event.
