360 blades vibes đź‘€Oh sorry, I was looking at this from the Brad Sams YouTube preview.
Seems less official than the OP though.

Dang same thing. Blades are back baby!
Right now they are using Xbox One S server blades, once they begin to use Xbox Series X it will be much better (which will be later this year). There is a ton of potential here
Bandwidth only matters below speeds of about 25 megabits per second or so - anything above that is not really relevant unless you need multiple simultaneous video steams (and even 25 megabits per second is probably higher than Xcloud goes right now). 75 megabits per second is far more than you will need. Once you're above that kind of minimal level, what matters most is latency and stability, not bandwidth.
huh, i didn't know that. thanks! now i'm even more excited to try
In the case of the Xbox controller, you can always use the official Wifi adapter
Essentially yes. But it's not full Game Pass, it's a cut down selection for Cloud streaming. It's still massive though (more than 100 games) and growing each month as they enable more of the library for cloud streaming.

To be honest, i do feel that it would look terrible on a big tv. It would standout way too much on the sides. Having the tabs across the top like it use to would provide the same functionality while not taking up too much space.
This is hilarious non the less.
My relatively unscientific test of monitoring my routers bandwidth throughput on my phone while using xCloud has shown it to be less than 10mb per second while streaming.
It needs to work in the same fashion as the Stadia controller though.
This has me thinking about what seems to be obvious. Xsx consoles that would have been made available for retail are going to this. I wonder what kind of allocation is going on with this.
I hope it's been improved. It was nigh unplayable compared to stadia and ps now for me in the beta. In terms of streaming services I've used :
1.stadia, not perfect but good enough to demo a game(2hr playtime refund policy)
2.PS Now. Playable but frequent heavy artifacting and unresponsive controls.
3.Xcloud. Least artificating of all three but unplayable amounts of lag/delay. Forza was impossible.

There was an article on anandtech where they talked about using binned chips for the servers but just clocking them higher. Should help alleviate some of those issues

Xbox Series X SoC: Power, Thermal, and Yield Tradeoffs
The PS4 browser is based on WebKit. I am fairly sure that it doesn't see the controller as a games controller, though, so even if it loads an Xcloud video stream, playing Xbox games on it would require Microsoft to support a controller connected through wireless.
