late to game...

OnLive, if say, came to market in 2008, then they might have been bought by one of the "big three" (Xbox, PS3, Wii).

However, without content, commitment and exposure (I never heard of them except Joystiq blog), it is really late.

IMHO, history (Atari's Jaquar, NEOGEO, ...) shows that even if your console is better (graphics, play, resources...), if the market is saturated and economically poor, a risk is it is on the down turn.

Look how rumored EA is shopping around...it's worth is finite. You can't bet on FPS forever. And until platforms change (recall PS3 is a 10yr plan, where Xbox is on 8th revision). And my gaming friends (which are a good reference) note that content seems to be "A" through "AAA" titles released for 3rd quarter (Oct-Dec). Note all "top" titles are Sept/Oct and Nov release for Christmas.

All cyclic...
