I'm real disappointed that these consoles are still fighting an arms race. I was hoping to these boxen would really take to the cloud and finally figure out streaming but I guess we're just not there yet.

Why? It seems like a completely ridiculous idea (latency-sensitive, incredible waste of bandwidth). I honestly can't figure out what the purported benefit is.

It's simply not feasible for a majority of countries and their broadband. Also, you would need to design games with lag in mind, otherwise there's a noticeable lag, even at 40 or so ms. You'd need the client to be doing some feedback work.
