I can't believe we argue about the knowhow and seize of the cloud business between Sony and Microsoft.
Microsoft is currently No. 2 worldwide when it comes to cloud computing, just behind Amazon.

Amazon is leading, but MS made HUGE steps in 2013.
Google and IBM are miles away. Sony is not even in this business.

good read.

Thanks for this!  People seem to forget that Netflix is mostly run on Amazon servers.  Plus Amazon has it's own streaming business and plenty of other cloud/data stuff.

Unless it's a local host, any multi player game today is already using the cloud.  MS is saying they are going to make it more powerful.  I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with more options and more power.
