Why would it be hilarious that an existing commercial enterprise actively serving up games via the cloud is better at game focused cloud computing than a service that is not currently serving up games via the cloud?
Azure does a lot of shit but Gaikai is currently the most proven commercial cloud computing endeavor focused on video games. I don't see why anyone would give MS the benefit of the doubt here when Sony's answer is actually something we can all go try out right now and their's isn't.
Fair enough, I don't give them the benefit of the doubt by any means. This cloud stuff is unproven and sounds like anexcuse to me (it came from Edge though), which even only those who are online could benefit from.
