| Sensei said: Being critical of what MS is doing is not being a hater. It's a bunch of RESTRICTIONS and you guys are defending them as if they were ok. They are not. Btw, cloud processing is the new 'blast processing': IOW, bullshit. |
Why would MS actions force Sony to go the same route. If Sony goes the route MS is going it means they have decided this is the future or this is an agreement they have made to content provides in order to put content on their machine.
The difference between MS could processing is that they have put 14 Billion dollars into it. Meaning that MS has a monetary commitment to making it work or at least giving putting in a lot of effort to make it viable for their system. You can think of MS cloud processing like Kinect. Whether you hate Kinect or not, MS is willing to put huge money to make the device live up to its promise. MS will make the same commitment to cloud processing. They already have the servers, the Orleans platform gives them the software and they have at least one company who will be the proof of concept which Respawn new game.
