More like xbox first,

also, nobody is stopping sony or nintendo to open up their own servers to host COD because that's not thanks to microsoft having "cloud" features on the console. It's due to servers, like everything stored in the beggining of the internet you know. Till nowadays.

Cloud is just a more friendly way of calling it and making really dumb people understand the concept of always accesible servers.

Why do gamers believe this is some type of switch a company can just turn on.  No, Sony and Nintendo cannot just turn on a switch and suddenly they have enough compacity to host COD or any other game with dedicated servers.  Also MS cloud feature is different from dedicated servers but MS is offering both.  Its an advantage MS has over Sony and Nintendo and its pretty clear one at that.


I wouldnt worry about sony. You act as if they dobt have sever farms already. Plus if they need they could strike a deal with amazon. 

Both of your points are hypotheticals. Sony probably has servers, but certainly not the scope MS has invested in.

Sony might have done a lot of things right, dedicated servers isn't one of them, at least not yet :
