Here's a thought: if this pie in the sky concept works in practice in the near future, there's no need for the XB1 at all. Think about it. All you need is an internet connection and the controller interface. The box becomes completely redundant and pointless as all the consumers needs is the controller, Kinect interface and an Apple TV like dongle/router to plug them into that costs well under $100 to manufacture.
If you think about it, there's no reason why the 77+ million XB360's can't be used as the access gate to the same cloud computing resources as the only difference would be the upgraded Kinect interface. No need for an XB1 to play XB1 games.
You could also use any Windows PC with the ability to interface with the input devices.
