Halo 5 on Xcloud has 67ms delay

The only company that has a legitimate shot is MS because they have the infrastructure to pull off the streaming model but also have the hardware to give players the choice. If streaming isn't perfect on MS you can still just download and play naively. Stadia is an all or nothing and you are still paying full price for a fraction of the product. MS will no doubt let you buy a game and download it, stream it, cross play, cross platform, etc. Why would anyone buy a game on stadia over that.

Yeah it's baffling that a pure streaming service thinks it has a shot at competing against what Microsoft has going on.
