It's an experience. Some games work better than others. Hellblade 2 which I played in full, didn't run all that well! It was playable, but not something that would compel you to drop your console. That said, Microsoft has to build on the technology and match competitors to be taken seriously, and I think a lot of the steps they're taking will see that happen in the near future going into the next generation.
Many of the things they pointed out here I suffered. But some games run better than others. Starfield, Forza for example. Not to much of an issue, but yeah. The main issue was input lag years ago. That's not an issue, at least not anymore, as much as I've experienced it. Digital Foundry deserves a lot of praise for the work they do because they've highlighted the current issues perfectly.
@Dampsponge I loved Enslaved. It deserves another shot and a whole new audience to experience it. Hopefully, it's something they'll revisit. Here's hoping anyway!
When cloud gaming does become prevalent and of course, there are big ifs everywhere. But if it does, the only thing we'd have to worry about is how good the games are and how great our internet connection is to play them. I don't think it's all bad news.
But maybe, definitely not good for the ownership model of games, which are steadily but surely phased out. A part from Nintendo. There's going to be a revolt once and a outrage for a little bit, and then a new generation takes over and it becomes the norm. Then everyone will be asking? "Did you really argue over the power of these things?" With a slight glee about them. We all know it's coming once the technology is ready, we're just not quite ready yet.

I really enjoyed it, but it's time for them to move on to a new game now.
