Gaikai teases WOW on Facebook

Most of the money in the industry comes from hits and high-quality games, Perry said, and it's just a matter of bringing those games to the mass audience by making them as easy as possible to try to start playing.

This is something Gaikai is working hard on, said Perry, showing a quick demo of Gaikai's Facebook service that will let anyone stream games through Facebook and play titles such as World of Warcraft, Bulletstorm, and the like without ever actually leaving Facebook or downloading anything. The service will be launched in the near future.

Takeaway: Consoles are becoming obsolete, according to Perry--and the only thing stopping game companies from increasing their audience is how hard it is for people to start playing their games.

Quote: Of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm: "Its launch-month sales meant that if it was a Facebook app it would have debuted in 67th place."

[UPDATE]: Shortly after the publication of this report, a Gaikai representative provided GameSpot with a statement regarding Perry's presentation. According to the representative, "Gaikai is NOT bringing WoW to Facebook (at least not in the foreseeable future). David Perry forgot to preface the demo by saying it is purely a tech demo, to demonstrate how long the sign-up process for games can be and to show how Gaikai can make it so much faster and simpler for consumers."
