The new Xbox One is pretty powerful, as said by Jeff Henshaw (Engineering Manager). It is computationally more powerful than almost 10 Xbox 360 consoles. This has been reported by GamesIndustry and it revealed this when the demonstration of consoles was discussed. The cloud is coming up with an immense power of processing. Microsoft is vast in terms of data centers. It is the owner of dozens and thousands of such servers. The pleasant news is that these centers are geographically scattered everywhere round the globe.
This was the appreciation of Microsoft, now comes Xbox One. The console has the capability to tap into this computational horsepower. Moreover, it can tap instantly and also to limitless horsepower. Xbox One has the ability to process tasks because of the resources of cloud computing and that also the virtualized ones. In addition to this, it will do this without any break. Henshaw strongly emphasized on this and said that the power of Xbox one can even melt a hole situated in the ground. It has also opened up new opportunities for the developers of the game.
They will now be able to create a persistent world that will encompass numerous players without paying taxes for an individual console. The world created by the game players will be more vibrant and lusher. The reason behind such improvisation is that the cloud will remain persistent and will be present there. To be more precise it will always be computing. These are the added on features that were not present in the console before. The newly created world has the liberty to stay in between the session of the games.
The world will continue to persist there and will survive even if one player drops out from it. The world will continue with it and will be able to experience the time effects. An example such time effect is the wear and tear of the console because of the damage caused by extreme weather. This is done in order to provide a new world to player when it comes back in the universe. The new place is slightly evolved than the previous one.
