At the London Games Conference, Xbox Live EMEA boss Jerry Johnson told the audience that streaming game services like OnLive isn’t ready for mass-market in the near future.
Johnson believes that “streaming technology is something that the industry is betting on longer term… right now I don’t believe that technology can scale out against the experience we can offer on a local machine.”
He also mentions that “the technology will continue to improve. As an industry we’ll have to accept that and move with it – but I don’t think it’s on an accelerated timeline for the foreseeable future.”
