When a thread has a title starting with 'Xbox Cloud Power', people are naturally going to assume it relates to MS. I can't even fault people for jumping to that conclusion without watching the video either, given Red Dragon's reputation here.
Regardless, the reason the cloud gets so much flack isn't because MS is its biggest pusher, but because of the huge gap we presently have between what is frequently promised as 'just around the corner', and what we are currently actually getting. We are almost 2 years into the 8th generation and yet we only have a single unreleased game that demonstrates significant use of the 'cloud', and even then only for a specific feature (and one that's still heavily reliant on off-line hardware to render it). It doesn't help that there are plenty of titles coming to both the PS4 and X1 that the majority seem to consider more technically impressive than the current cloud poster child. That will inevitably lead people to question to the use of the cloud, fair or not.
If you promise someone the moon on Monday, don't be surprised if they see a diamond as trivial on Tuesday.
