Munkeh111 said: Yeah, because everyone likes always on and cloud gaming... In all seriousness, this is a reasonably good idea, though I would hope that it isn't a requirement. Maybe it could be done in such a way that it is optional, so you can get a 4K version using the cloud? As for Sony vs Microsoft, Sony do own Gaikai so they are probably capable of matching it |
cloud gaming became awesome when Sony bought Gaikai for a ridiclous price.

Sony bought it for a ridiculous price? Please prove with facts and sources.

Onlive was a bigger service than Gaikai in every aspect (Users, patents, assets, support, ...)
Sony bought Gaikai for 380 million USD in July 2012.
Onlive was sold for 4.8 million USD in October 2012.

MS built up a cloud service with the knowhow they already had in their company. MS made big bets on the cloud with Azure, MS Office 365 and a lot of tools and servers. Now this comes to Xbox One for free.
