Amazon doesn't win at everything it does, it failed at phones. I agree that cloud gaming is going to be a battleground but I don't think it will bring on better games. In my opinion developers are going to go for that user base like Pac says but the games are going to have to be designed with the limitations of the technology. Google has essentially unlimited resources and they can't get cloud gaming to work. I have a 1G FIOS connection and cloud gaming is by far inferior than it is on my PS4. The technology isn't there yet and 5G isn't the magic bullet that will suddenly make cloud gaming work.
