I think some fans believe so much in their company of choice that they create stories in their head and force them upon us.

I believe some fans want the device created by another company to fail so much they dismiss concepts not thought up by their brand of choice.  It really does run both ways.

I dont have thoughts like that. I tend to only focus on what exists, which is why I've been telling Sony fans that Microsoft has heavily invested in the cloud and not to underestimate it. After hearing about Playstation now everyone jumps out of their seats but guess what Microsoft has invested more and the Azure cloud is built into the core of the Xbox One. I would appreciate it if they stopped talking about things that haven't happened yet or might not even happen. No one believed in Sony's cloud until CES this year. Can you believe how many Xbox fans did? Even I was a nonbeliever. 

You're right, it does run both ways, but Toastboy has been making some posts these days that make me just question whether he actually focuses on what Microsoft does or rather what he wants them to do and psychologically projects that upon us.

I agree that Toastboy post was out there and full of wholes.  MS has not demostrated cloud compute and how it will change games on the X1.  I know they have built the platform to do it and I believe Halo 5 will be the game that show it but for right now its not there.  The only problem I have is when people dismiss the tech without really understanding it.  


I believe that thats because the Xbox One wasn't supposed to launch as early as they did, but because of their feelings about Sony they wouldn't let Sony launch without them being right behind them breathing down their neck. Killer Instinct isn't finished even though its a solid game, Twitch isn't done and the Cloud is still having the kinks worked out. MS should've just waited and then launched when everything was solid but they are so scared of Sonys dominance factor that they have to jump quickly. I hope we don't hear about any bad consoles because of this because Microsoft rushed the 360 to beat Sony a year early and screwed millions over because of it. I am sure their cloud will be fine, but I don't know if they'll be able to majorly enhance graphics. They might provide a slight adjustment, but only slightly as far as I know about the cloud thus far. Its the same reason they were rushing to change the clock speed on the Xbox One the second they heard about Sony's speed in February of last year. Anytime Sony makes a move they jump, so hopefully this means we'll be hearing more about the cloud at E3.
