Is that so? With DX12 doubling its output and the Cloud giving all that oomph, the One will be several times stronger than it actually is, it seems. I mean, come on, Cloud computing is handy and something for the future for sure but I recognize hyperbole when I see it.
You need hardware than can reconcile with the cloud and with the hardware being more or less basic PC fare this could be a big issue, it has to be able to run juxtaposed threads and processes on its own, otherwise it'll be more like having a 1Gbit/s download speed on a computer from the mid 90's (bus speeds and HD spin wouldn't have been able to keep up as a direct recipient and contributor to the overall process).

Cloud computing will offer amazing advantages and likely leaps in performance in a few years, but hardly on ordinary hardware like the one in the 8th gen consoles. So for me; a helping hand? Sure. 3 Xbox One's extra power in addition to the main unit? No way. If they mean potentially the power of three One's from Cloud computing in general as a process though; I'm on board with that, but not yet I think.
