Called it ages ago. This thing seems destined to fail - their entire market is a niche within a niche.

    Outside of Microsoft and Sony's streaming services (which let's face it, people don't subscribe for the streaming portion), do any of these succeed? I've tried streaming to my phone before (even my tv). Even doing so from my pc and using the absolute minimal amount of compression, it still looks noticeably worse and the latency throws you off.

      If it's a free side function on a regular console loke the Vita off your own console at home/on your network I can see it being mildly successful. Something that's like a Wii U gamepad expansion to a home console with outside-the-home capabilities is cool. Paying to stream off some locked-down internet server is bullshit.

        I would kill for something that was like plugging GBAs into a Gamecube, but with cell phones. Nintendo's already halfway there with joycons - just let us strap those onto any phone, and release a bunch of games that take advantage of the two-screen format.
