Microsoft's Satya Nadella said that record numbers of users logged onto Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Live, and Project xCloud over the past few months. With social distancing set to remain, this raises questions about the future of gaming. Are cloud and online gaming on the rise or are consoles here to stay?

While Xbox GamePass is a great service but streaming games as a service is awful for every platform, the Input lag will never be satisfactory for most gamers.
Consoles for life
World has an estimated population of 7.5 billion (7500 million).
So even ignoring the fact that monthly active users usually means any user who has logged in during the month, we are looking at 1,2% of the world's populace.
This is still a huge number, there is no need to round it up to 1,5% using whatever invented rules for rounding up you chose :)
