They are saying their data centers will run the equivalent of Xbox One S machines... Granted with 100% compatibility, which is nice. But... why pay to stream Xbox One S (not even X) when you can stream top-of-the-line PCs on services such as Shadow, Stadia and GeForce Now? Maybe their streaming will be free and you'll just have to buy the games? But that's how the Stadia base model is supposed to work, and it will outperform it.

Or maybe they are just targeting it to poor people...
