Nvidia didn't do OnLive, did they?Yeah, but the problem is *it's already been tried*. This isn't a new, risky business model that might be a slam dunk or a flop. It's old hat at this point, and it was a flop, it was a flop and a half.

The lessons are learned, the technology simply does not work in this respect. You cannot make in-house streaming better because the of the laws of physics and universal gaming expectations do not let you. Speaking personally, streaming from a device in my house to another device in my house over *wireless* is unacceptable, over wired it is acceptable (though barely, I doubt I could stand it if my vision was better).
I'm not saying Nvidia will be successful, but different companies will continue to try until one of them succeeds, or they all give up. Apple was not the first company to try the touch screen. That didn't stop them from being successful on their attempt.
