Didn't make PS3 a better console, don't see how that's different for Xbone

Well now it sounds more reasonable. Those are reasonable expectations.

Yes, Sony tends to overpromise, but it's also a behaviour MS can't afford.

Sony has much more trusting and loyal fans.

500000 times per second  1 second is 1000 miliseconds or ms. So 1000 updates per second would mean 1 update each milisecond So its basically checking in every 2 microseconds for updates ?  Isnt that impossible ? 

Whats new about it is nothing right now, we have seen NOTHING. The power of the cloud is UNPROVEN could just aswell be Milo 2.0. Atleast we had an example Video with Milo how this fantasy could look like one day.  MS needs to do something we havent seen before that actually can not work without cloud or else its all worthless PR talk.

Impossible... maybe possible in 100 years lol

Why would you even post this marketing / pr bunkum? This is just an advertising move, and MSFT either gave them the XB1's joined to gether to make a supercomputer (for free) or paid NASA to accept some "work" so that a nice article could be written. Same goes for similar PS4 stuff, just thought that you knew better than to be impressed by this kind of thing...

@ethomaz Loll your connection sucks big time..... I haven't had a latency over 50ms in ages if I'm not behind my vpn... and even behind a vpn located in Manhattan (I'm in eastern France) I'm between 100-150ms

What I can do lol... in fact I was over the IBM VPM.

Better now? Google is a great server for me because I have direct access to backbone where the google's servers are located... it is by far the best ping I have here (from the I site I tested).

Now a external server...

2)  The latencies never changes... what changed is the internet spped... now you can transfer a lot more than your old modem... but you know latencies is caused by how much time a data package needs to go from a point (server) to another (cliente)... It is physical distances... like a Server here in Brasil have a better latency for me (that lives in Brasil) than a Server in US.

latencies change if you have servers local to your location as you stated.  Who do you think has the capability to provide more local resources within a given area.  Could it be the company that is spending billions on their infrastucture or is it the company who has to sell their buildings to post a profit.  You are still acting like things will remain the same as it is today.  You can easily google that MS has been for years building their servers with over 20K a week.  Do you think Sony is doing anything the same.  I do agree that MS is launching in the places they are because they have those local resources so the experience for people in those areas will be high.  The fact that MS actually has the cash to expand their services in other areas pretty quickly is also another advantage to their situation.

For a comparison... the Killzone 3 controlls lateny is 6ms (the time you command in controller leaves to be processed by console in a offline simple-player campaing).

Where did you get the latency number for the PS4 controller at 6ms.  I know most games are over 50 on the PS3 and 360 with COD being 33.  6ms would be huge.

On another note, isn't the X1 releasing in more terrorities than the PS4??

3) Like I said the World Internet Network doesn't support 1080p@60fps streaming for games... and the NetFlix uses a high compacted video that at the end the quality of 1080p is worst than a 720p offline video (or even worst)... five a look at the YouTube 1080p quality... for games you need better quality after all... so the streaming is way more massive (more data transfered by second).

If the world ran with want can be done today then we probably would never progress.  On the video front, if your game graphics is using raytracing for lighting and streamed at 1080P compressed video, I believe thats a compromise many people could live with.  Actually I do not have to look at youtube or nextflix, I can take a look at MS video 1080p service and see the results.  Do they look as good as native 1080p, Absolutly not but it looks good enough you have to have a side comparision to tell the difference.  Couple that with some very advance rendering within a game like raytracing and you probably woud not care.

If I am stating things that cannot be done then here is your proof of concept

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstein:_Ray_Traced

Since MS cloud can do the same thing, I am not speculation all that much.  Also if you just did a search raytrace and azure you would see that its also not as far fetch as you believe.  You do not need GPS transfer speed if you are compressing the video and sending it to the client.  MS cloud can do both.  It can render the scene and compress and send the results at the same time.

The pixar is just an example and whos to say that it cannot be scaled to real time.

The difference here is that cloud computing is already being used for a lot of things but some people does not have a clue of what are the possibilities of it and are just comparing this with Gaikai (theprof for instance) even if it is totaly different. I was hoping this demo and the explaination of how they used the cloud computing would be enough to have the haters maybe understanding it.

Not the case... Still looking at the replies and some believe that Sony with Gaikai can do the same (most funny...) and others are still calling this BR bullshit.
My bad I mean, even with demo like that haters will still hate... Not sure why I epxected otherwise :)
