Recently, there have been some forecasters predicting the death of the console. At first, I thought their statements to be somewhat fanciful. I could not foresee such a future, as I am a child of the Nintendo era. Now I might reconsider the possibility. Have any of you out there on the interwebs heard on OnLive? If you haven’t go check it out. Let me know if you think it could work. I am very interested in the possibility of playing all the games from different systems in one format. I don’t know. If this thing catches on, we could see some major upheaval.

The Achilles heel of this system is the Internet and broadband.
At least I can play my PC games or Xbox games even if my broadband is down.
I wonder how this system will feel like during peak internet usage times?
Add to that rumblings that internet providers want to put a cap on internet usage and that could be trouble. They also like to estimate downwards instead of upwards.
Coming from the PC in which people have been saying its going to be dead, I will wait and see. Have been seeing more buzzards than bluebirds lately.
