Yes. I had a critical initial reaction to OnLive (video games streamed from the cloud) because of latency; also, it has such lovely benefits for publishers that they'd wish it to be true... but when better networks and more local servers arrive, they will be placed to own it. They might even overtake "consoles". They just need to survive - which they can do, because for some use-cases, for some people, the present service is useful.
Similarly, the next generation of SoC GPUs (e.g. PowerVR G6200) has approximately the power of an xbox360's xenos GPU (which seems to have been enough for players, despite x10 better GPUs on PCs). When that arrives (next year), these guys will be there - they just need to survive. Another relevant quote:
No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
