Interview: Xbox One's Chief Product Officer Marc Whitten

Just some more information...

Good video he asked some good questions. I hope they have mics available at launch so I don't have to talk to the kinetic and have the audio blasting.

A lot of non answers. Sounds like a politician.

Yeah very true matt

One thing I did like was how he explained the possible need to always be online. The system is made to do computations in the cloud, and the developer can choose if they want to do that. So if the game is offloading calculations to the cloud, you will need to be online for that to work. I think it's interesting and opens up a lot of possibilities.

Yep, that is how EA built Sim City and it worked out so well for them... Oh wait.

But all kidding aside, the cloud could make the system much more powerful with less need to upgrade hardware down the road.
