I can tell you havn't played many Sony first party games. They run smooth. I'd expect the same for all the games. 

Is that smooth for you or are you talking for everyone.  You know there is a difference in what you experience than millions of other people around the world.


Dont think i've ever lived next to a data center. I've never heard anyone say anything about lag in a sony game. I know it's hard to beilved but you dont have to be rignt next to the thing in order to have a good time and run lag free.

You probably would never even know if you were close to a datacenter.  its not like they advertise it in big letters.  You know dedicated servers does not somehow make your ping time lower or lag free experience.  Pings are determined by how many hops it take for your PS3 to the server.  In other words you can connect to one server and you experience terrible lag and ping times and then another which is perfect.  

I am not sure how long you have been playing MP games but I have been playing them since Dwango.  This was way back in the day when you felt proud you had a 2400 baud modem.  What I am saying is that your Quality of service might not be experience with every user that plays MP on Sony servers and dedicated servers is not a magic bullet for reducing lag and high pings.

And it also depends on your own internet service on how good of a ping you get, Where I currently live on my old internet I’d get a ping of 200 now that I’ve got somewhat better internet I can get a ping of 90-130 which is still quite high, but that’s pinging the same server. When I lived with better internet I’d get really good pings and never had a problem playing games unless it was per to per, like cod or something like that. So even if you live two blocks away from the server you could get bad ping if your internet net sucks. Azure isn't going to be the greatest experience for everyone, besides if you playing someone across the country what's the chance you're going to be hitting the sever closes to you? Maybe you're on the one closes to him. Now what happens if you get thrown in the mix with people in another country? Do they cut that out?

 

What happens if Sony lets you run your own sever? Like folding at home, but instead of cloud computing you just turn it into a server when you’re not using it. Hell I’d buy a second ps4 just for that.
