Again, they are most probably not talking about your internet.

I'm not sure what it is, and I don't care about this service enough to actually think about it and I admit that I skimmed over the article, but this can't literally mean they aren't launching it in Europe because we have bad internet... There are way more Europeans than Americans with a high-end internet connection.

broadband issues in Europe?

i moved to berlin, paying 30€ a month for 6 MBit, not faster available.

but on topic i have to say not launching a service because there are people who can't access it properly is the same bullshit argument than not launching a console in some countries because it won't support voice recognition at launch.

especially because cloud gaming is scalable. the scalability is one key asset that brings cloud gaming with it. so why not launch this service with lower capacity, and scale up with the (hopefully) growing demand.

i call BS.

I'm getting 17 MBit even though I'm paying for only 16 MBit :D
