Unlike the previous generation console wars between companies like Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and previously Sega, the next generation battlefields is going to look a lot different than yesterday. This isn't unexpected as we have now heard about Stadia, xCloud, and there is good reason to believe that Amazon is building a streaming service and Sony, clearly has something up their sleeve too.

In this post, I hope to breakdown the strengths and weakness of each vendor as they prepare to begin selling good and services targeted at gamers for the next generation. While this is not a perfect deep-dive analysis, it combines known information as well as insider content to help paint the best available picture until every company has fully unveiled their streaming services.
