I told Sony Fans to calm down and that developers would soon start talking about how Xbox One's ability to use Microsofts 300,000 servers to assist in games! Right on the Box when you purchase your new Xbox One it will say Powered by the Cloud! It's been in Microosfts plan all along. By taking processor heavy computations and doing them in the cloud, it free's up the xbox one hardware! Very smart move by MS and people who don't understand the tech will bash it and say it won&#...
Anyone who thinks that Sony's purchase of Gaikai means that they even the playing field with what MS is doing with their 300,000 servers giving extra power to the xbox ones is living in the clouds...The reality is Gaikai as of 2012 only had 12 datacenters/servers on deck> LOL...LOL...While that's enough for their web based game streaming service...but its not even in the same realm as what Microsoft is doing. Grasp your minds around that...300,000 servers/data centers to Sonys 12...

Finally someone with some common sense! I have been waiting to jump into this discussion but the bottom line is that Sony Fans will bash & hate and try to convince eachother that the cloud won't work for games...But the reality is different than they claim it to be! Right on the Xbox One BOX it will say CLOUD POWERED! Since the beginning of its inception they intended to use the cloud to help developers. It will definately aid the xbox one in operations t...
I have Comcast xfinity and I don't have a gig cap limit. Mabye it's unlimited...IDK TBH...I have never heard of internet providers placing a cap. That would suck! LOL...Only cell phones have data caps...unless you are with sprint and have unlimited like I do! But home internet doesn't have caps on their internet services...
You really don't understand the tech do you?
its okay. Stay ignorant and eventually you will be enlightend and I promise I won't say I told you so.
It's not cloud gaming. But you wouldn't know that would you. Sony is using the cloud...yes...but theirs is for storage. They don't have no where near the amount of servers needed to use it for augmenting games. MS has been working on this for 7 years and its always been part of the plan. Sony w...

Xbox One is future proof. Every year, internet connections are getting faster and faster. In 3 years the connections will be much much much faster than it is today! You don't need a super fast connection for developers to be able to use the cloud to offset assets in your single or multiplayer games...It's not playing a game in the cloud...that wouldn't be good with how connections are today! But, it's augmenting games. The tech as explained to me f...

You are the worst kind of fanboy. Loyal till the end and blind to reality. The good news is, games will be released, and anyone who doubted will be enlightend. The latency you speak of is cloud gaming. That's not what we are talking about. We are talking about developers being able to offset computations to the cloud to augment gaming. It's real whether you believe it or not! LOL...But instead of bashing something you don't understand, just admit your...

You don't know what your talking about! If your internet connection dropped, the game would keep playing, but the added augmentations would be dropped...Game would still look and play 10 times better than the 360...
Oh, and it' snot magical..just because you don't understand the tech...its real tech and developers will use it.
Single player games would benefit...all you need is the console to be connected and BAM it can b...
It's not PR spin. My long time best friend is a developer and he said MS has been planning this all along and been working on the tech for 7 years. Sony wasn't forward thinking enough to actually use to cloud to augment games. They were using the cloud like amazon uses the cloud. For storage. You obviously don't understand how it works. As the months go more, more info will leak from Developers and maybe just maybe you'll catch up to whats going on. But, it's definately no...

I not only believe it, I know it. My life long best friend is a developer and he said that Micorosft has been planning this all along. Sony could have but they weren't forward thinking enough to invest in the amount of servers and tech to make it happen. 7 years MS has been working on this. That is why they didn't really care that Sony went with faster ram and a little more raw power! Microsoft knew exactly what they were doing. And you have to give credit ...

This is coming from someone who doesn't own an xbox! LOL
Let me straighten you out a bit!
Kinect works just as advertised in my house.
My xbox live is totally lag free.
They aren't releasing games through the cloud. Developers have a choice to augment the games with the added power. First party devs will likely take advantage of it first and lead the way!
Starwars Kinect was awesome! I loved it!...
1. Halo (increased number of players & huge worlds due to the cloud)
2. Mass Effect
3. Forza (increased number of players & huge worlds due to the cloud)
4. Gears of War (increased number of players & huge worlds due to the cloud)
5. Call of Duty (increased number of players & huge worlds due to the cloud)
6. Nba 2k14
7. Destiny (increased number of players & huge worlds due to the cloud)
8. Battle Field 4 (i...
The Xbox One has some seriously impressive specs, right? Although, as many fanboys have been quick to point out, they aren’t completely on par with PS4. So advantage Sony, right?
Not so fast. Microsoft seems to have some big plans for the Cloud with the upcoming system. In their words, Xbox One’s processing power is not fixed and not static- over time, the system will simply offload a lot of its computing to the cloud, leaving up more resources on the hardware for immediate c...

The Xbox One is a powerful piece of hardware with 8GB RAM, 64-bit processors and plenty more muscle. But as time passes this hardware will age. As Xbox One Director of development Boyd Multerer pointed out, "You'll still have a limited number of transistors in your house; in your box."
But the Xbox One is built to communicate with servers in the cloud to increase the computational potential of the system. Boyd continued "[As a developer] I can start doing ...
