Menace is a huge pessimist. That's just his style though. Him saying cloud is nothing new, is nothing new. However, the extent of how we are seeing the Cloud used to this capacity (in the case of crackdown) is new. I sure wish some would just be excited for all this stuff these guys are coming up with for gaming.You do know Sony was the one said that MS didn't have the resources to do suck. Also that it's not there until another 10 years.
So I say Sony is nowhere close or even know where to begin.
If you aren't excited for all these advancements , it may be a good time to drop the controller for a little while. I find this stuff fascinating and exciting. Can't wait...
