Stadia?
- nailer 6y agoStadia is a cloud gaming platform. Like Nvidia Shield, Microsoft xCloud, Sony PS Now, OnLive, and the rest. Gmail, maps, page-rank based search, and other pre-2010 Google tech were category makers. Every competitor has to massively step their game up to make something as good. Stadia is not a category maker. There's no massive competitive advantage or leading position for anyone else to catch up to. It's nowhere near the pre-2010 Google products.
- jldugger 6y agoWell, now we're moving the goalposts. You can release a major product in an existing category. In fact, half your examples already existed.
- nailer 6y agoI was making some last minute changes while you were replying to clarify my thoughts, but you can see my edits about why Stadia isn't like old Google products.
- mav3rick 6y agoThis is getting old now. Tensorflow, TPUs, Spanner, Photos, Waymo. Just keep shifting the goal posts.
- nailer 6y agoI've never spoken to you before and goalposts have always been. You just think every product is major. No, Spanner is not equivalent to Google Maps or Search.
- jldugger 6y agoTensorflow / TPUs were a pretty big deal, but are Spanner or Photos really that widely used? Waymo's not even out of private alpha yet =)
