Streaming games is something I think will be the future of consoles. It will allow the three big console players (Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo) and perhaps maybe even some other companies to save money on hardware, as they pretty much just need to sell a cheap terminal that gives access to the service and actually give them a good reason for the need to have games as a service with a monthly fee.
It will be easy to use, easy to install and hopefully somewhat cheap.
But when it comes to PC gaming I think there is somewhat of a culture of ... boasting what sort of a PC you actually have. I don't think it will ever become as big of a thing for PC gamers as it will for future console gamers.
