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.

Deals cost money which cut into your profit and also if you have to sell it to developers means it probably will cost more than what MS is offering. Sony does not compete in this space and they definitly have not invested into the cloud and servers like MS. Really you can easily research this info and know that Sony is not in the ball park. MS has spent alone in one year on their Datacenters then Sony has made a profit in the last 6 years. The key is that Sony cannot and probably never will be able to provide the type of service in this area then MS. They just do not have the capital.
