Renting, it's renting the device.

You need to drill a hole into a concrete wall once - you rent the drill. You spend every day drilling countless holes - you buy the drill.

for the device, the analogy works better, like with coin op arcade machines back in the day

in this case, you're clearly not allocating a device for your sole usage for a given period of time; it's a gaming SAAS, which isn't really renting

  • Physically xcloud runs on Series X boards where each board is software divided in 4 Series S. When you stream a game you have sole usage of the 1/4 of the phisical device
