@DarkReign2552 Cloud processing is a lie, tell me exactly how can a server processing data kilometers away from the X1 surpass the almost non existing latency of your local processor? It would be stupid to send calculations back and forth a remote server. the best you can do is something a la Forza 5 Drivatar; you download the AI profile of someone and then all AI calculations are performed locally or you could run the whole game on the remote server and just play with the video feed as Onlive does. Either way, calculations are always being handled on site.
@kiaduplex There is a difference! You see, Microsoft developed the system to put DRM in X1 games, this makes it easy for ANYONE to add DRM to their games, whereas with the PS4 the developer would have to create their own DRM solution making it more expensive to protect titles. I think most developers will probably opt out of DRM for the PS4.
If publishers are smart they will not enforce DRM, now we only need microsoft to backpedal on all this crap and the X1 might still have a chance. I still believe the PS4 will win the next console cycle, it is way to complicated for non gaming parents to manage all this DRM crap. Imagine a kid trying to borrow a friends game only to be faced with a fee to play the game, the parent will not understand why he has to pay for his kid to use the borrowed game and will probably not pay the fee. Both the parent and kid will end up upset.
@Polynecro @Wrathesoul What about the recent scandal called project Prism? If I were a US citizen I would stay away from the Xbox one and its big brother capabilities. I would advise anyone to not allow this piece of crap into their homes.
