Well... They are trying to make the cloud work on x1, windows and windows phone fronts and unlike the cell, the cloud is useful and needed and is technically the "way of the future". So I think they will do fine... Once the price of the x1 goes down, I think it will really start selling and the cloud is just a bonus |
You don't think the PS3's main CPU is useful? What does it make games run with, fairy dust?
X1 cloud isn't even anything special. You think that games targetting PS4 don't use cloud servers too? Maybe their own, maybe Amazon AWS, Google App Engine. PS4 games could even use Microsoft's cloud if they want to. The only thing special is that MS pays for X1 cloud with your XBox Live money, and developers probably don't get a choice to use other services if they want to. Woot.

To add to that, the "Cloud" is another form of DRM.
If or rather when Microsoft closes down Azure/Cloud servers (Nothing lasts forever!), you can bet that the games that rely on it will cease to function, on the PC it's not so much of a problem, modders/hackers have historically reverse engineered such things in the past.
I'm still of the opinion that Sony would have been better served going with a simpler CPU core and boosted the Ram to at-least 1gb during the last generation, the Cell just wasn't that impressive.

No, no , no, you have it all wrong. Sony would have being better served by not going with bluray.
