Just think of the possibilities if they teamed up with Valve using Steam as their Cloud based operation center......... fuck..... would be incredible.

That's not what the term means. You're confusing it with digital distribution. The term refers to all the computing done by another computer and your console just sends the request and recieves the result.

dood, do you know what Steam Cloud or their match making do? ^^;;; not to mention they can use their VoIP code. I'm saying nothing about DD, it's the other parts of Steam, Nintendo is using GameSpy atm for Wii and it's honestly, outdated as hell.

PS: BTW, Iwata isn't exactly a computing guy, most upper management don't know much about this shit let along their shareholders, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing the true value of Cloud Computing is the data structure, and how fast the servers can handle those data and hand them to your machine to decypher, which is pretty nice and efficient nowadays, but it would still run shittier on a slower machine, and that's how it has been for almost 20 years, people just didn't use this term commonly until recently.

You don't know Iwata's background well. Iwata was a developer. He isn't just  some management suit.
