LegoxMetahuman:apple TV hasn't failed...apple TV plus will fail ...that one is certain Google and Facebook are monopolistic because of their anti-trust / anti-competitive nature...which have made their rivals' services kinda useless why libra?....the answer u gave isn't the reason..the reason is because cryptocurrency can't be controlled,thus government are against it why chrome os?..ur answer is ok why stadia?...negative latency won't even help stadia at all....reasons are ¹)most gamers hate changes 2) Google is too advert-ridden ,anti competitive and invasive 3) Google have failed in all their new services 4) Google can't be trusted 5) the most important reasons are : Google depends on Linus and open GP,when most games are developed using direct X and windows .. secondly,Google isn't assuring gamers that it will keep their games if Google ends stadia... thirdly,stadia doesn't have back catalogue of games.. fourthly, stadia requires gamers to buy games of about 60 dollars instead of Xbox games pass and ps now style of services...and the first one is game developers won't support stadia |

LegoxMetahuman:even amazon boss of all bosses are still struggling with Netflix with there prime video even after they've spent billions to perfect it Netflix still take huge market share, Nbcuniversal product that will debut as peacock are planning to make there product free of charge but filled with ads, just to gather customers, HBOmax already have the figure due to the market Waner media controls, meaning they will have good catalog of TV shows like GOT and many more, what will Apple TV+ use to get part of the market share from Netflix? Then they've failed on arrival even amazon fire TV they debuted on two days ago can't save them because amazon are still searching for subscribers that's why there platform is cheap compared to Netflix... |

Topmaike007:abi o. it will take the combination hbomax,apple tv, amzon prime disney + etc to break the monopoly of netflix. if not, i dont see any one breaking that monopoly anytime soon. its very very hard to break tech monopoly once its ahead and people are comfortable with it. the apple restrictions is always their own undoing. thats why apple fan, when they get comfortable in the apple ecosystem, only god can remove them. same as someone who knows google all his growing tech life to suddendly leave google search. thats why car companies are quickly taking the fight to tesla before they become unbearably huge and kill off other car brands. |

Topmaike007:I was just telling my wife the other day that nothing compares to Netflix. The experience is just da bomb. The USER INTERFACE is awesomene. The cover art for shows is spot on. The trailers and everything is 100.They are now even creating their own movies. Albeit medium budget but some are very good and boxoffice quality e. g Birdbox. Netflix is pass the competition by Alot. I had amazon prime video for a while. That stuff is shit. What te competition needs to realize is that everything is not about having the most content. The total experience is what matters most. 1 Like |

johnmattew:Stadia.... Hahahaha. I can't see that working. For one a lot of people are already heavily invested in either playstation or xbox. Purchased games, controllers, accessories, achievements etc. They want to be stream games like Battlefield 5 and COD MW via the my internet connection and then processing the graphics in cloud. Except they have a crazy ass technology I don't see how this will work. Considering I also have a 1 TB data cap on AT&T. Battlefield 5 is about 100GB to the download and the Blu ray discs they come on to install actually saves me data. If youre playing multi-player it's only pinging the server while running some content from your console. The system will not also need to download it every time. But stream 4k games via chromecast I can't really figure out that would work. Also you will need monthly subscription to access games that you will still purchase. If those games are not marked down then that is absolutely a no no. The negative latency stuff just sound like bullish. it and marketing speak to me. What does that even mean? You want to predict my button presses? All the time I tried to use PS Now or Xbox stream games from the cloud, they always lag badly. The main problem is that the internet connection comes in peaks and lows of mbps so your lowest mbps must be enough to stream and download what you're playing without lagging. I'm not sure you can make use of buffering as in video streaming in this case as the input and output for games need to be instantaneous and game must be processed and rendered at an instant except ofcourse almighty google has found a way. But hey, it's launching in a couple of days time and then we can hear real world performance from people that are purchasing the founders edition for 130 bucks and not from testers in a google facility with 200mbps internet broadband and 20km from google's data center. In any if it's still succesful and can surmount all these potential challenges, it will indeed be a game changer(pun intended). |

12inchess:and netflix covers almost the entire countries of the world if not all and every country to her own contents..... Netflix open the way to other platform but nothing can beat them for now, in near future I see amazon purchasing the company in a multi billion dollars sale..... The only thing that give amazon prime the upper hand when compare to netflix is that it is not expensive and also they're catching up with there amazon original series which I pretty much like.. Such as undone, Jack Ryan, Carnival Row, Expanse, the man in the high castle and my very best of them all Hanna. Netflix got good series too that still collect my 7USD a month such as Stranger thing, Castlevania, dragon Prince, and many more.. I still pick Amazon prime over netflix because I am Jeff bezos fan just like that man on a good note Netflix still remain the king of them all... |

12inchess:nvidia shield will even retain part of the market than stadia because Nvidia geforce now work pretty well with steam, what I notice about Google is that they like to waste money, even Nintendo are still lagin behind where xbox and playstation are, I don't see stadia succeeding as well just another failed project as you've stated above |
