Games as a Service (Off-Topic)

It's conceivable that in the future if the average internet connectivity and latency are good enough that hardware consoles will be a thing of the past.

For action, racing games and anything VR, this will never happen on a meaningful scale.

Physics and economics says so.

This is an incredibly bold proclamation. Accurately estimating what we will be able to do 10 years from now is incredibly difficult.
