    They won’t even need to sell an expensive console, they want to sell a “streaming stick” and stream games to it.

      If that were true, Microsoft would sell such a thing already. GamePass Streaming is just meant as a sneak peek of the games experience. The real deal with better input latency will be Xbox and Windows for the foreseeable future.

        I just looked and they actually scrapped it, they were working on one. Perhaps they wanted to just target existing devices in the end, although that hasn’t seemed to have gone anywhere either, with game pass only being available on some samsung tvs.

          Nothing was ever confirmed. It was all conjecture based of some thing in a background of a video.

        It’s what Google wanted to do with Stadia.

        Fire Sticks can already Bluetooth connect to controllers and I have Moonlight installed on mine so I can stream games from my desktop to my TV downstairs. It’s not even that intensive on hardware.
