Although the console war is already well supplied with three major manufacturers on the market, gaming revenues are very high that they inevitably fuel the greed of the largest digital industries, and among them ... Google is ready to enter the gaming consoles industry!
Indeed, Kotaku says that 5 different sources have confirmed the upcoming arrival of the American giant in the race for gaming consoles, all with a massive takeover of large studios and a machine that would use full streaming technology and the computing power of the Cloud to deliver high graphics titles without the need for expensive components like CPUs or GPUs.
Of course, betting on such technology is still risky at present, because if it proves to be more than suitable for Netflix-like movies, the interactivity related to video games requires ultra-short response times while the Graphics data volume requires a very high speed connection, which is not available for the majority of players at the moment (like with the PlayStation Now and its "only" 900p resolution).
No other info to explore for the moment, but Google could well beat Microsoft in the race for the console Streaming. Should Sony start changing its strategy given the financial strength of this likely future competitor?
