It might work for low end or previous generation games
You may be right that the cloud tech needed to support the best XBox One and PS4 offerings isn't there yet, but Nintendo has been pushing under-powered hardware for generations now. And I don't know about you, but most of my Steam games would work fine on state of the art hardware from the early 2000s. A pseudo-incumbent like Nintendo and a potential disruptor like Valve should absolutely be thinking this way.
And I don't think TV software should be an issue. Virtualization should be a trivial problem for tech companies of this size.
- dikaiosune 11y agoI'd wager that your steam library is atypical, but I don't have any evidence for that beyond my own and those of people I know. Also, tech companies that big can't even get basic navigable menus right, so I'm not sure I would agree that virtualization would be easy for them.
