A prompt when you're about to suspend a game is probably sufficient. So, for constrained state, that would be game snapped with app in the primary running state, for a lack of a better descriptor? ...

There is a huge amount of that hasn't been revealed about both consoles. That's leading to a lot of speculation. The positive sentiment built around one is trending the speculation in a more...

I'm failing to understand the purpose of the constrained state if you cannot interact with the game? What is the point of leaving it running? Why not just suspend it instead? Kind of kills the...

Yeah, I just meant they don't reserve a VM per client. Early in this thread there were people suggesting they'd have to do things like dedicate cores per user. That is not the case. The client...

Looking at Microsoft's data centers for Azure, they house an astounding number of servers. I still think 300,000 for Xbox Live alone is not realistic. But it could be a huge number of servers. ...

The thing with WiiU is that it didn't give us anything better than we had already, and the tablet controller did not resonate with people at all. Is it the processing power or the tablet story that...

My opinion of the reveal, from all of the talk after the show from MS and the Turn10 guy is that basically they showed what they could and the rest was not ready. Not showing something is not...

Or it's neither? Maybe Sony started earlier and the talent is basically equal? Honestly, I would expect that to be the most likely answer, but it's not very exciting for forum wars.

I find it hard to believe they'd increase the server capacity of Live 10-fold in the hopes that people will leverage the servers for cloud computing. That's an incredibly expensive venture, and...

Well, they haven't really given any details on the deal, so I imagine we'll see more on E3. But to understand how big the NFL is in North America, and how fantasy football and sports betting was a...

That's actually a very good idea. I suppose there's all kinds of NPC type behaviour that could be pushed from the cloud without having to roll out game updates.
