Cloud Processing won't mean a thing for the Xbone

They don't need the whole ps3 ofcourse, racks of ps3 motherboards networked together would be sufficient. Big promise anyway, huge expenditure. Maybe not needed for all games, can psn games run on an emulator perhaps?
I would not want to use it for gt5 or wipeout HD or anything else that requires quick responses. Lag would kill those games. Maybe they're banking on people quickly getting bored of it... E3 can't come soon enough.

But psn-games are ps3-binaries, too. If you can emulate psn-games you can also emulate other ps3-games. And yes, games that require quick responses seem very unlikely playable to me.

Maybe some were made with a different SDK with an abstraction layer between the hardware and the software, a ps3 DirectX or something. That would make emulation a lot easier. Some might not even use the spes at all. And I guess it shouldn't be too much trouble for Sony to ask for the source code and recompile to a different binary.

The thought of producing tens of thousands of ps3's for streaming seems so horribly ineffecient. Although after googling ps3 supercomputer, I guess it is quite feasable... They didn't even bother to produce the boards seperately. All those wasted blu-ray players, wow.
