Misinformed about what? The fact that the Xbox will have access to an infinite amount of power from the cloud is not opinion, that's fact. You don't even know what the power of the cloud can do.

The PS4 will be obsolete in about 2 years when PC specs surpass it again, while the Xbox will continue to get more and more powerful. Come back to me when you can show me a game that looks better on PS4, until then shut your mouth.

 

I'm just saying there's no need to fuss over hardware specs anymore when Microsoft and even Sony eventually are gonna move towards an all digital, cloud computing future sooner or later. The third party games are gonna look the same. The games on Xbox One like Forza already look amazing. Yeah the PS4 might be better theoretically on paper, but anything the PS4 is capable of, the Xbox can do just the same or better.

No.. just no... please stop. I mean an *infinite* amount of power. Do you even know what the term infinite means.

You do know that Sony can use the "Cloud" as well right? 

The cloud is great for online games/MMO's, but it *wont* in any shape or form improve the performance of single player experiences. It would allow (just like Diablo) to perhaps include new gameplay experiences - such as you can make changes server side to loot drops, and automatically when players connect they get this newly configured data. So from that point of view it could be useful... but it will not change the performance of hardware.

The term cloud is misunderstood. Cloud just means servers available online. 

Its what is set up for those servers to do that is the differnce.

Sony don have servers set up for processing data to enhanc a machine. Thereservers are used for playing PS3 titles on PS4. As in completely rendered in thecloudand streamed to play like Steam can do.

Microsofts Cloud is set up for processing data and sending that back to th machine, freeing up memory ad CPU tasks. Things like AI, Physics etc. Not necessarily display processes. But that still means Microsoft has more local memory on the console to use for Graphics. Etc.

Theres a great article Im just trying to find that shows just what Cloud means for Sony/Microsoft.

But cloud is just that. Servers.
