Many households are already streaming multiple high resolution feeds at once; and availability of the appropriate connectivity will improve with time.
The vast majority of gamers hardly spend more than an hour or two in total on each game they own, on average. The proposition isn't to aim to serve 40 to 100 hours of gameplay per purchaser, it's to provide a couple of hours for most and unlimited for the minority.
Latency isn't that big of a deal. The industry giants involved can afford to be within 30ms round trip of most anyone in EU/NA/Jp, and most people can tolerate a 100ms+ input latency. Their TVs are slow as it is, many consumer models having a 100+ms latency already.
And the big wins? No hackers. No secondary markets. No patching. No consumer hardware/software incompatibility. And so on.
