Xbox One cloud provides CPU and storage capacity of three consoles

4.7
Xbox One's cloud will feature three times the CPU and storage capacity of the core console, a Microsoft spokesperson has said.

According to Jeff Henshaw, Microsoft group program manager of Xbox Incubation and Prototyping, the Xbox One cloud will be just as crucial to developers as the hardware inside the console.
"[for every Xbox One] we're provisioning the CPU and storage equivalent of three Xbox Ones on the cloud," Henshaw told OXM.

"We're doing that flat out so that any game developer can assume that there's roughly three times the resources immediately available to their game, so they can build bigger, persistent levels that are more inclusive for players. They can do that out of the game."

The Xbox One's Xbox Live service will be "powered by 300,000 servers" according to Microsoft's Marc Whitten.

Microsoft revealed its new Xbox at a live event on Tuesday.

I honestly like the Xbox One. But it has so many restrictions and drawbacks to it. I'm still waiting till E3 to make my decision. + I'm a Competitive CoD player so im betting which console will be picked up. But i realized the Xbox won't be put on the circuit b/c the kinect has to always be on so that means if Anyone yells out XBOX OFF during a match. ITS ALL OVER LMAO.

8th Obviously a good idea because we need to install each game before we play it and each game would be around 6-7 gb


Next gen blu ray games will be more like 10-20gb minimum.
Still leaves plenty of space.
