if the clouds are this powerful, why even bother with releasing Xbox One? Instead connect this MAGIC power to the 360 and bring up the performance to PS4 levels.
Use your brain people, MS didn't create 300K server to bring power to the One, they created them to monitor and check every Xbox One sold. that's why it's 24/7 online machine.
Think people. use the damn brains you have for once.
Um, did you read the article? It basically explains how the whole "3x the power" crap that M$FT has been touting around recently is nonsense. I was simply agreeing with that.
And I agree with you also, if what M$FT is saying, then theoretically, they should be able to just use these servers for 360. It's just PR jargon.
@Kratos_Kills: It isn't about being "smarter" than MS engineers. They've already made themselves look dumb enough. It's about a position of common sense that Microsoft sorely lacks.
I really don't hoe how people are buying so hard into this?!?
Just imagine if such a revolutionary tech was created and its first use or even the first news of it is making.... Better graphics! that's what we used it for!
I'd imagine if this tech was possible the first we'd see of it would be PC gaming! but that would require a massively fast network.
Uhhh why wouldn't they? That's more hardware sales for MS. It also gives them a chance to improve everything. Maybe they could use this on the 360, but that was be a stupid move. You combine this technology with the Xbox One specs + blu ray + improved controller and functionality and you could have one hell of a machine.
Surprising their are some of us that actually work in the IT at this level not just repairing PC's. I have been brought into so many meeting to be a technical consultant when we get companies try to pitch business and the shit these firms try and spout about what the cloud can do is unbelievable.
The only people that fall for it are the people that know nothing about it.
I can design and build corporate systems that are cheaper and faster that they can do in their own DC's. They just use a lot of smoke and mirrors to confuse the customer into thinks is cheaper for their DC and the people they need to manage it.
the idea of an always-on, always listening and watching camera is actually an extremely disturbing concept which goes far beyond anything to do with gaming. verizon, for example, has patented technology within tvs that allow your tv cameras to monitor what it is youre doing in your livingroom, which allows them to run certain advertisements on your TV based on whatever it sees. cuddling with a loved one while watching a movie may lead to commercials about birth control. yelling at someone in your home? how about a nice relaxing add about a premium vacation to the bahamas? thats right folks- pretty soon, our tvs are going to be watching us! at some point, people have to stop doing what it most convenient for them, and start doing whats right. to say something like "microsoft is the bad one because theyre doing it with kinect" is naive. pretty soon, this type of thing will be standard practice for most electronics. Not saying that society has to divorce itself from all modern technology. only saying an always listening and watching game console is not only a step in the wrong direction...but a ton of steps into a place you didnt even know you were headed. I dont know about you guys, but i personally dont feel very comfortable with a piece of machinery that is able to watch and listen to my every action without my consent. Ask yourselves: is it a conspiracy theory, or the future?
I've touched on this topic so many times I'm not even going into it again. These people do not understand how the Azure system works whatsoever, especially by comparing it to Gaikai and Onlive which are strictly streaming services that pass bits of information from point a to point b.
No. Instead, this is a service that needs information from point A to be sent to point B so point B can perform computations that will then be sent BACK to point A so your frickin game can work correctly.
And it's all supposed to go off without a hitch, without lag or latency. Developers are supposed to code for this, ALONGSIDE the much easier to do PS4 and PC versions, as well as a version for people who WON'T have access to cloud computing.
then stick to your ps3 or buy the ps4. LOL...Next gen gaming isn't for everyone. When we went from tapes to CD's...People said the same thing you are saying. LOL...they just didn't want to let go of old worn out tech...The future is coming and old head will resist and that's okay. Stick to the old tech...But many will enjoy the new tech and eventually we will all look back and get a good laugh about how we couldn't see the vision Microsoft had at the time, but it will all make sense years from now. Kudo's Microsoft!
It's amuzing to me when people try to explain something that they don't understand. Microsoft has been working on this for over 7 years and they basically future proofed the xbox one. It's not rocket science people. They have 300,000 servers for their cloud. The cloud will be utilized by developers to AUGMENT the game that is installed on your system. Xbox reps are stating that the xbox one will be 3x as powerful than with the cloud augmentation. If your internet gets interupted or goes down, the game would still look great...remember the xbox one is 10x more powerful than the xbox 360....That's more than enough for any of the xbox 360 gamers...who cares if the ps4 has a little more raw power...It's all a huge upgrade from this gen regardless...But when your connected...and the game uses the assests from the cloud...we are getting into 30 times as powerful just in what the cloud can augment in your game. It's exciting stuff and just because some lazy editor on an online website eating a donut behind his computer screen says it's rubbish...if its what sony fans want to hear they will believe it. Microsoft has invested billions into this new tech and at E3...the games will be revealed and the tech will be further explained. Believe it or not. I'm ready for the true next gen console from Microsoft...I applaud them for being forward thinking and giving us a future proof machine. It's an exciting time to be a gamer!
don't you think that if it was such a powerful tool that they worked so hard to achieve, that they would make a mention of it in their reveal? Come on bud you can't be that naive.
Finally, someone gets it!

All i want to do is pop my game into the console and play, is it that difficult understand?
they have gamers heads in the s**t and they proved it.
