  As long as it’s streaming from their hardware like the article outlines that’s fine. They are providing a hardware rental at that point. If they want to charge me for streaming from my own, they can keep their “service”

    Renting their hardware will become the only access to hardware that anyone can afford… because all the rest was make scarce by the demand for more enterprise hardware for them to rent out to everyone.

  I’ve been seeing them hint at this for months, it’s their grand plan to make Xbox more profitable. The Azure cloud prints money, why wouldn’t an Xbox cloud perform the same? I’m sure it sounds good to investors. They will crank up the price of their consoles to make the rental fees look like a better deal.
