    Microsoft's 'Project Mountain' puts $700 million into data center powering Xbox One and Office 365 cloud
    By Ben Gilbert posted Jun 24th, 2013 at 10:03 AM

    Microsoft really, really doesn't want your Xbox One's online services going offline. In a near $700 million investment ($677.6 million), the company's opening a new data center in Iowa specifically aimed at powering Xbox Live and Office 365. Microsoft's Christian Belady told Iowa's Des Moines Register that the data center "supports the growing demand for Microsoft's cloud services" -- a much lauded function of both the Xbox One and Office 365.

    Alongside the $700 million investment, the company's getting a $6 million tax rebate from the state to move in, effective for five years. As for Microsoft's cloud, we'll assuredly hear more about it-- for both Xbox One and Office 365 -- this week at Build.

    Xbox One and 360 lead all platforms in E3 award nominations

    Last night, the “Games Critic’s Awards: Best of E3” nominations were announced and Xbox continued to be highlighted as a winning platform, with Xbox One and Xbox 360 leading all platform nominations. Xbox One and Microsoft’s exclusive titles received 11 nominations, the most of any game console. In addition to Xbox One being nominated for top console of the show, the Xbox exclusive game “Titanfall” became the most nominated game in E3 Games Critic’s Awards history ever, with six award nominations.

    In addition, here are a few other trends we’ve seen to date:

    - “Titanfall”, an Xbox platform exclusive, has been widely acclaimed as the big winner of E3 and remains the lead game across all platforms with 101 nominations and 54 wins, for global nominations and awards.

    - Across US award nominations*, Xbox exclusive titles have received 168 nominations and 68 wins, more than any other next-generation platform’s exclusive lineup. Top title nominations and winning awards include

    “Forza Motorsport 5” earned 24 nominations and 8 wins
    “Dead Rising 3” earned 17 nominations and 7 wins
    “Project Spark” earned 13 nominations and 4 wins
    “Ryse: Son of Rome” earned 11 nominations and 2 wins

    We’re really excited to see the positive response to the Xbox One exclusive games line-up and we remain committed to making Xbox One the best place to play games – led by the biggest exclusives, new IP and blockbuster franchises that play best on Xbox – delivered via exclusive technology only available on Xbox One.

    This a good article that has some details of the cloud gaming. This is what really is going to make next generation systems go to another level. Only if the developers push the limit though. Things like this has me leaning towards the XBox one. Imagine having a "profile" that basically watches how you play and it caters the CPU to play like your profile. Some of this is already in some games but I think they are just scratching the surface on current gen. You will really start to get more human AI when you want to play against the CPU
