"hink it is fairly obvious that OnLive will not work, that is to say given the infrastructure in N. America. You may say that is an overly pessimistic statement, but I think it will not work because such a service depends on users with good connections all the time. And, that is likely to decrease in N America; not increase as more services, people, and information transfer happens over the same old infrastructure. There simply won’t be enough people with the necessary connectivity to make this sort of service viable until infrastructure is improves. The improvement of the infrastructure won’t happen until the old infrastructure is proven to be causing trillions of dollars in lost commerce. Only then will the 'need and will' to spend tax dollars to improve the network occur.
OnLive is pie in the sky service that simply cannot be rolled out until Internet 2.5 infrastructure if rolled out in another 30 years.
It is far more likely we will see larger games sold and distributed via the network rather then games piped to a dumb box over the network. So consoles are here to stay for large games. That of course leave smaller game wide open for this sort of service, but taht si not what we are talking about here. Anyone can "beam" Peggle into your home to a dumb box, but nobody will be able to beam Halo 10 or Unchar"
