I never said I wanted people to believe Microsoft's claims at 100%... But it is alright as this is going nowwhere;

We both agree that companies' PR are over exagerating...
And we both agree that cloud processing has potential then.

And maybe we even agree on the fact that this thread title is wrong... As cloud processing will maybe not mean what MS is saying to the Xbox One; but certainly not nothing at all?


I don't think cloud processing will have such a big impact. And certainly not on most games. How much do you think MS will charge third developer if they wish to use it?  Nah. Most will settle for what they're already used to use. And maybe a fragment of the first party titles will make extensive use of it. Showcasing the potential. But I certainly don't expect it to be anywhere near the touted 4 times the power boost.

Microsoft already said that 2 to 3 VCPUs will be available for every Xbox One...
Obviously this is an average based on usage statistics but developpers will not have to pay for this CPU time as it is part of the Xbox One offering.
