2019 will be the year that sees some of the biggest tech companies in the world diving into the cloud streaming business for games. Google announced its Stadia platform at the Game Developers Conference 2019 for a launch scheduled later this year, Microsoft confirmed plans to publicly test Project xCloud in the coming months and even Amazon is rumored to be readying its own cloud-based streaming service.

With competition often comes strife, and in an interview with the Telegraph (locked behind the publication’s paywall), Microsoft’s Chief Marketing Officer for Xbox Mike Nichols didn’t pull any punches when he discussed the weaknesses of the upcoming cloud-based streaming platform.
