Their was a passing reference to a &amp;quot;cloud strategy&amp;quot;, but there hasn&amp;#x27;t been as much evidence as their competitors.&lt;p&gt;This will wind up making for the most interesting console generation since the 32&amp;#x2F;64 bit era, since the platform differences go beyond hardware specs and release date. M&amp;#x2F;G&amp;#x27;s platform&amp;#x2F;subscription approach seems to be more in line with where the world is going, but remains to be seen if the timing&amp;#x27;s right.</text></comment>

The only thing I&amp;#x27;m worried about with this is the fact that high capacity SSDs are more expensive and with a push towards more digital storefronts, I&amp;#x27;m wondering how this will work for the users. Then again, it&amp;#x27;s also a wonderful chance to push streaming, so there is that too.</text></comment>
