Total Destruction was already possible on PS3/xbox360 without Cloud. Red Faction vs Crackdown 3

What's funny is destructible environments would look even better this gen, thanks to the better specs. Of course, this way MS can get away with its always online BS from the start of the gen, using "teh power of the cloud" as an excuse to pull it off. And of course, some just lap it up.
