How come MS isn't specific? Didn't they learn from the Xbox One reveal that not being specific can be disatrous?

@Bolded - I would think MS is not specific because they are not doing a public beta.  It would be crazy at this point for Sony to not be specific at this point when they are getting ready to go public.

Until we actually have a game that uses the cloud for processing or when that game is announced then MS would release that information.  Most corporation, including Sony do not just release that type of Info until after they have gone beta.

Then we agree.

Which is why I think using the cloud as a selling point is a bad idea. Everytime MS makes a claim about the Xb1's cloud capabilities, it will be doubted, and since its not public, they won't have any information to assuage those doubts. If this was pre Xbox One reveal, public perception alone would be enough to deflect some of the concerns, but after last year it is extremely difficult to take their word for it.

The nature of the internet citizens is to doubt everything unless you are rooting for that product or corporation.  MS job is to get that info out there, and discussions on it weather people doubt or not is not the concern.  MS execution will be the key because if they can prove they can do it, then its a big win for them.  If MS cannot prove they can do it, well thats the risk you play.

The thing is, I see nothing that MS has actually stated they can do being impossible or even taking a long time to develop.  People in these types of threads keep throwing graphical rendering which MS never stated the cloud would be doing.
