As we learned at the Google Stadia reveal earlier this week, Google’s new gaming platform isn’t a game console but rather a streaming service. But despite that, as one console generation ends and we look ahead to the next PlayStation and Xbox, does Google see its new platform as competing with them?
I spoke to Google’s Phil Harrison about just that, wondering if Google launching Stadia this year, while most speculation has made us expect next-gen consoles next year, meant Google saw Stadia as a direct competitor. More than anything, it seems Google is more concerned with Stadia creating “a bigger opportunity” for the industry at large than trying to supplant other platforms.
