Xbox One: Microsoft May Be Lying About Its Cloud | |
|
||
| Time: 13:26 EST/18:26 GMT | News Source: the inquirer | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

According to Microsoft, the Xbox One cloud is supposed to make for enhanced, superior games and Jonathan Blow says it’s all a lie. In a statement on Twitter this past week, Jonathan Blow said, “More cloud processing BS. … Someone please call their bluff on this. Jonathan Blow was of course referring to a recent article from Joystiq, where Microsoft claims its cloud architecture can pre-calculate elements like lighting and physics modeling, leading to increased in-game performance. Apparently they say they are able to do this through the use of 300,000 servers which do everything the console itself isn’t doing. Microsoft stated, “[for] every Xbox One available in your living room we’ll have three of those devices in the cloud available.” | ||

Why do you think they are lying? MS never said there were 300,000 physical servers. They are VM's and Hyper-V can support 8,000 per cluster. They would not need to kick anyone off of anything to add servers to a cluster. Cost you must be kidding, MS makes the software and the company has 56 billion in cash so yes they would need to buy some servers to be used as a Hyper-V host but money is not a factor. Also keep in mind Microsoft also owns it's own datacenters and cloud services.
x-box one also is running hyper-v and has at least 2 VM's running because there are 3 operating systems being used. |
