You posting your oppinion about Microsoft PR bullshit a good amount of time in this thread. We got it the first time...

You are right about one thing tho, nothing is preventing game dev. to use Azure/Amazon to do the same on PS4 (and pay for it as it does not come FREE for every Ps4 games like on the Xbox One)... But no, Sony do not have any datacenter able to provide that kind of computing power to million of consoles like Microsoft... You are just plain wrong about that... And the cost to developp such infratructure is way behond what Sony would be willing to do for the PS4. It took 10 years for Microsoft and Amazon to put that up; even you believe Sony is an half-god; this cannot be magicaly done :)

Whjere is your proof sony does NOT have a datacentre to house such infrastructure?

MS CLOUD was never just for X1, if you think that you are blind... MS cloud is for theirt whole company. Nothing more then a PR tactic. When the games come you will se.

Xbox fans have been saying SONY doesn't have money for years, said it about price cuts, PS4...They have way more clout and assets then you realize. They have struggles but are still a massive conglomerate.

lol dude just calm down... And leave the "MS fans" / "Sony fans" out of this thread or I'm going to report you.

It is a WELL known fact that Microsoft have Azure and thousand and thousand of companies out there are using it(Apple IS using Azure / S3 for their iCloud) are using them. Sony DOES not have anything close to that... What the hell are you talking about proof... Just use Google and look for the major players in cloud computing... Also you should take the time to understand what is means to allocate millions of vCPUs for the consoles out there, it is not a matter of just having the hardware (which Sony does not have) but also the software and the whole infrastructure to handle that... Microsoft and Amazon took more than 10 years to build that up...

You may believe that Sony may magicaly comes up with a in-house solution for that in few months but that's only you :)
Now the possibility for PS4 devs. to use external providers (Azure or Amazon S3) is still there anyway, why are you so upset about that lol ? Even Apple is using Microsoft Azure, it is just how business is conducted, nothing abnormal here.

 

 

Still waiting for your proof sony has no data centres, despite the fact they already have thousands of servers all over the world. How do you have intimate knowledge of Sony infrastructure?

You are spewing speculation with zero proof.. Also, again, many cloud options are already available, this is NOT a MS only thing. Unless you can post concrete numbers, proof, then I will take anything you say with a grain of salt. Maybe a bucket.

MS cloud is a company wide solution not just for x1.

MS has been building cloud ech for 10 years? OK, proof?

Most games will be multi-plat, many x1 gamers wont even play with a internet connection, so the benefit to this for the x1 will be minimal.

Real benefits of cloud gaming is years away, many years. Right now it is a way for MS to spin their BS marketing, and was going to be used for their anti-consumer policies.
