Exec sounds death knell for games consoles

It *could* happen...maybe...one day

Blimey - people complain about input lag to monitors sitting on their desktop. Now he thinks that people will be happy to send mouse/keyboard/wavey stick thing controls across teh intarweb, wait for everything to be processed in the "Cloud" and sent back to their screens?

Not for a lot longer than 5-10 years, methinks[/QUOTE]

So that'd be Citrix then? Citrix does exactly that - bar the wavey thing :) over internet/intranet. OK, so it's a stretch to think it'll be applied to games, and I think this is a biased opinion, but it's not inconceivable with all the virtualisation of hardware/apps around. Just my 2p.

Oh, and set-top box or console...same thing if it's playing games isn't it?
