Cloud Processing won't mean a thing for the Xbone

Microsoft arent updating the servers from 15000 to 300000 for no reason they know what they are doing .

Of course Microsoft know what they are doing.

Even if those self-called "internet experts" on different forums believe they understand everything about cloud processing and do not see the potential of it, they are mostly clueless :) 

Because you say so?

Yep.

We are extensively using Azure and a good majority of the comments I see about cloud processing is just wrong...
People comparing it with remote play (Gakai), assuming that it requires a lot of bandwith, do not understand that even in a single player game there is a lot of asynchroneous operations going on which are not time sensitive and I can go on.

The only thing that makes sense from these ridiculous comments, is the fact there if you are not connected to the internet... Well obviously you cannot use this processing power. And I can only agree with this, but it is not the issue I see the most in their replies.

And if your "because you say so?" was referring to my comment about Microsoft knowing what they are doing... Well, they are the leader with Amazon in cloud processing/hosting... I may be wrong, but if we stop looking at haters alternate reality, chances that Microsoft knows what they are doing are high...

Have you read Digital Foundry's analysis of MS's claims?  Maybe you should.

Oh, right... You'll say they have no idea what they're talking about and have no understanding of technology?

Not that they say it's impossible though. Just that it's not going to have as big an impact on the XBO as MS claims.
