There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Galactic Reign is a turn based game that uses the cloud to render the battles after each turn has been made. The rendered battle's are FMVs which you can stop at any time to analyze the performance of your ships and change decisions for the next turn accordingly.

The general reaction to Galactic Reign is pretty good, it has generated quite the cult following.

As you can see, the cloud can be applied to games with great effect. Obviously, the cloud will not help Microsoft close the gap of hardware between the Xbox One and PS4, but new gaming experiences specifically engineered around the cloud await us.
Also, if you are concerned about Sony's answer to Microsoft's cloud powered gaming, they could have a partnership to make use of Google Compute Engine or Amazon Services.
Microsoft is obviously choking in it's own PR message since they are using it as a spin to preemptively defend themselves against Sony's hardware advantage, but there is a hint of truth to Microsoft's claims and we will see more cloud powered games in the future.
