But there are many, many, many unknowns with regards to it.

Oh, god I hope not. Cloud Gaming is doomed to fail if brought out before everyone is on FIOS connections. For consoles alone that would mean that a game stream would need to maintain around 40mb/s and even that is a compressed signal @ 1080p. Not to mention the input lag.....

I have no doubt that M$ are interested in this tech as they are also developing their own version and what's the easiest way to ensure your method is adopted?.........

Console wars are a misnomer, it should fanboy wars. Unfortunately too many people act like sheep and follow the herd rather than making an informed decision based on the hardware merits and future prospects. For example, if M$ had demonstrated to me that the 360 had superior hardware, adaptable future goals and provided me with the tools/addons I require as standard then I would have gone 360. Thankfully Sony offers all of that. :p
