Indeed and here I was thinking that was already the case with xbox live this gen. So basically this next gen cloud is standardized, modular, dedicated servers in more places around the world. No more excuse for p2p multiplayer games then at least.
Although how does it solve me racing against someone in South America, Australia or Japan? That lag is still the same, a fast server as a middle man is not going to change that.
Great for developers, maybe it will free up some of their time to spend more effort on the singleplayer. That way the cloud is improving gameplay after all :)
