As much as there is talk of "the cloud", the PS4 is going to offer streaming.

Just this... Tells me that you have no idea what you are talking about ... Cloud Processing is completly different than Streaming... It clearly show that you just want another thread to bash the Xbox One without even understanding what Microsoft have to offer... Not going to waste my time explaining all the advantages.

It shows me who will accept anything MS reveal. In a way I hope Sony mess up in a similar way so I can see who will accept it on the Sony side.

I guess kinect is rather cool. The pseye doesn't seem as advanced.



Money and halo with a side of kinect and marketing.



tv I think

This whole talk about how "the cloud" is going to make up for any local computing issues, is like the time how people talked about how textures and whatnot could be streamed off the disks on the Playstation.  Unless a game is specifically designed for cloud gaming, and is server based, and is for massive environments, very little is there.  There latency is absurd involved. But one can keep telling themselves otherwise.  Unless shown otherwise, it is "blast processing".

And I will take your reply as being "none", because you really can't say.  You are just hurting that Microsoft has shown NOTHING that would offer it an advantage over the PS4 in ANY capcity.  You can't name it, so you won't.  

In the case of what I wrote, the PS4 is planning on streaming content and doing processing off the system itself, if needed.  As far as cloud computing goes anyhow, it is nothing but shorthand for virtualization, meaning you have an easier time managing servers.  Unless streaming and turning a client into a dumb terminal, you do get some client-server action going.   

You can't show any way that this would work to prove superiority and show that always on Internet with the One is for nothing but cloud storage and DRM.  You can't.  You will name vapors.  But go ahead and show otherwise.  If you can't even post a link to a SINGLE article to show how it works better, then you are blowing smoke in desperation out of fear Microsoft isn't going to come out on top.

lol If you really see that in my repy, I really congrat you because it is an achievement (see, MS achievement, not a trophy):)

So, you know that Microsoft did not invent the notion of cloud processing right? And that Cloud Processing is just different than Streaming? It is a matter of fact and definition; nothing to do with being a fan of Microsoft or Sony...

Not sure what is the link with Microsoft's reveal or accepting anything from their PR here but well...



Not a single advantage if there is one it has the advantage to be one big flop!

I did not even talk about Microsoft's claims in any way. And I'm not even talking about what is doable with the cloud processing or not... It is just a matter of comparing apples and oranges and then starting thread hoping for people to bash again on the Xbox One. If you want to talk about the advantage of steaming on the PS4, fine... Of the advantage of the cloud processing and the 3 VCPUs available to each Xbox One for developpers, fine (even if you do not see any advantage here). But just stop comparing then like the streaming capabilities of Gaikai would be the same thing.

My point is that these are just 2 distinct features (or advantages if you want to call them that way).

Well the x1 console seems to be bigger then the ps4. So if there's a big earthquake you can always hide under it.


Seems to be bigger? Have they showed the Ps4? I missed it if so. If they haven't this joke was beyond terrible. 



Im pretty sure that Microsoft is gonna unveil a really really big third party lineup of exclusives. Especially from EA and Activision. I believe microsoft put all that DRM crap into the console because EA and Activision told them they would get some really great games for it.
