Xbox one power scaling due to external updates! how listening to the internet has shot microsoft in the ass

[kirby007]

Microsoft is increasing its number of Xbox Live servers to 300,000, up from only 500 at launch and 15,000 today.

let's shed some light on the 300,000-server cloud architecture. Part of the server setup will be used to compute scenes in games. Microsoft is targeting areas that aren't sensitive to latency, a common complaint around cloud-powered games. "There are some things in a video game world, though, that don't necessarily need to be updated every frame or don't change that much in reaction to what's going on."

Microsoft is clearly betting on the long-term viability of cloud gaming, something that could theoretically make up for its lower specifications in time

for every Xbox One] we're provisioning the CPU and storage equivalent of three Xbox Ones on the cloud. We're doing that flat out so that any game developer can assume that there's roughly three times the resources immediately available to their game, so they can build bigger, persistent levels that are more inclusive for players. They can do that out of the game.

  Result and target!

envisioned scenario was with allways online everyone profits from cloud so all experiences are the same. due too enraged internet this has gone down the drain.

the likely scenario now will be this
xbox without cloud connection is weaker then the xbox with cloud connection

how will devs cope with that? will xbox users get the options for 2 different performance setting or will they be lazy? how will this effect level/map size!? the power difference between launch games and end of lifecycle games will be bigger then now! Will microsoft invest more to keep up with computer developments?!

there are still some question marks, but i'm not worried because microsoft initial plans were brilliant!
