    Streaming is a tough cookie because it's so reliant on the end user's ISP behaving nicely with advertised speeds. I was a beta tester for google's streaming project with assassins creed odyssey, and even though I had a gigabit connection the game occasionally had to drop framerate. If even a wired gigabit connection wasn't reliable enough, I can't imagine how terrible the experience would be if you had a more modest internet package. However, it would be sweet if LAN streaming took off. The Xbox becomes something you just plug into the wall in a nook somewhere in your house, and streams to every screen you own on the wifi network; phone, tv, laptop, whatever you have. That seems a little more tangible to me than expecting ISPs to walk the talk with internet speeds.
