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.

If you play a lot of gaming you should install your games it puts less stress on the console and you can install games offline... If your planning on using the same system for 10 years I recommend installing your games on the ps4 and Xbox one

Gossip Why do we need that much storage??

Well every game you play will have to be installed in the Hard Drive and I'm pretty sure the games will need a ton of space.

I'm not a fan of the cloud. I like it to be physically on a hard drive. So many things can go wrong with internet storage. I know this is the "future of gaming", but it's dumb.

slapshot101 So we get 1.5 TB of storage and 24GB of Memory in the cloud? 1.5 TB is a crazy amount.


It is but you have to rember that each game for the 360 is around 8-10gbs without dlc, a movie is 1-5gbs, 2500 songs is around 20gbs so memory goes faster then you think depending on how you use your xbox! These are just round about numbers!


Not to mention the games will be bigger due to them being blu-ray.

I personally won't be uploading things to the cloud due to my upload speed being far too slow to make it a viable option.


Especially games like battlefield that is about 30gb non-blueray, dont judge me or quote me on the gb of battlefield cause i dont own it my mates do
