So we obviously are headed towards a streaming fate be it 10+ or less years from now however has anyone entertained a possible hybrid console like cars? So we are talking maybe half the actual hardware power on board or less and the cloud rendering the rest through streaming?? Would allow for some form of home power still without totally relying on your internet to do the grunt work also keeping costs down?

Xbox tried this during xbox one. Nothing came of it because it wasn't a very good way to do it. They might even try again:
