so wait a leading software company that has been pushing for cloud tech for more than a decade, is lieing to the dev community which are their potential core users and will be the voice of the tech, just to push an agenda on their potential customer of one of their smallest market ??? makes perfect business sense...

while I don't expect better graphics from it, there is far more to it than just highly demanding  real time graphics games.... they are many things I could see using that... from little things to bigger things.... in a sports game you could organize online tournament, where you could have real time reactions to what is happening with other matches, take a soccer game you need a win by 2 goals to make the cut to the next round but the in the other game your competing team is winning by 1 goal so you need 3... you could have the crowd react in real time to that and the moral of the AI and your own team also react to that....
in turned based RPG you could have better renders of battles.... you could have games like magic have great battle animations.... you could offload a lot of the apps computing happening in the background, like they already do on phone apps...
in games like fable you could have everything molyneux was dreaming of with the city growing and famillies expending and characters growing old and all that goodness that is not happening on screen being ofloaded to the cloud and requested when needed...

no matter how hard people try to downplay it and even if we don't see anything right away, there is no doubt that having the possibility to use their infrastructure is a big plus whether it is for games or anything else.... having cloud capabilities dwarfs not having it especially at that scale....
