And MS has to license Blu-ray tech from Sony. :yeshrug:

This is nothing really.
No. This is huge.
Sony purchased Gaikai but ultimately had to choose
Microsoft's solution, if that doesn't point to how exceptional it likely
is, I don't know what does.

That is literally NOT what this is at all. The recent moves from M$ have done nothing but prove that they are probably moving OUT of the hardware space in the next decade or so. This next console is more than likely their last.

Sony has all the industry cache, the library AND the install base. Nintendo has install base and perhaps the most revolutionary system of the gen.
M$ can't compete with that on either front...but where they CAN compete is infrastructure.

This is a move for ALL THREE of the console makers to compete with Google and Amazon. Cloud-based development is going to be the single most important innovation in gaming for the next gen and beyond. This way M$ builds the infrastructure and makes money without having to truly spend any on console development. Sony wins by getting access to cloud-based development on their games and continued console dominance. Nintendo wins by getting a truly top-tier online membership experience and a larger library through Xbox Live.

This ain't Sony vs. M$ no more...this is the gaming industry vs. tech titans.

Literally NO OTHER form of media has grown more in profit and investment than video games.
music #1, gaming #2

Is Azure not the backbone of the cloud? Yes or no?
Azure is MS cloud service so what are you talking about "backbone"?

If Sony had of went with AWS or Google Cloud you weirdos what be singing a completely different tune. This is more than likely the hosting of the online services which would allow cross-platform play between Live and PSPlus.

We shyt on Microsoft for their blatant exaggeration of how the cloud would affect the games (crackdown physics?) and Xbots propping up the cloud itself instead of answering "where are the games?"

No one was shytting on the concept of the cloud itself. But ya'll know that, you just want to argue about brand names as grown men.
Just own up to the fact the "cloud" you nikkas were shytting on will be be powering the Grillstation 5. :laff:
