In essense it's a weak selling point for the cloud and more importantly, this feature suggests nothing groundbreaking for the future of cloud computing either.
I remain sceptical about cloud computing. At this point it's just another gimmick.

It's not really a weak selling point...
Anything that is internet connected can have games rendered on the cloud and sent to a device, regardless of how powerfull it is.
If the good old Dreamcast could have the grunt to playback 1080P video and a little light processing on the side, then that too could technically have graphics equal to a PS4 game, with all the processing done on the cloud.
However, we are still in the early days of cloud computing, so who knows what it might look like in 5-10 years time, but the potential isn't anything to scoff at.
However, latency is still a big killer with cloud gaming IMHO and you couldn't pay me to use it if I had a viable choice of an offline alternative.

Cloud computing (X1) =/= cloud streaming (PS4)
