Google Stadia

[A Black Falcon]

Google doesn't want to sell you a console, and they've said the Stadia will be streaming only.  That's a way that Microsoft should have the edge over Google; they also are working on a streaming platform, and have even more data centers than Google does, but also want to sell hardware to people who want lower lag connections, physical media, and such.

I have a paycheck from Google, and have worked for YouTube and Android I promise you on the grave of my ancestors that who ever said to you that Microsoft has a bigger data center than Google deserves Japanese internment for a really stupid ass comment.

I also ran a 9 server microsoft farm over 13 states and can tell you first hand that Microsoft's Azure platform it a horrible litany of broken shit and bad decisions, and unfortunately XBOX is getting moved there soon as company is reorganizing.

In short I expect XBOX to be deep in the shitter soon if things continue as they are.

I've read that there are a lot more MS Azure server farms than Google server farms, that's all I meant. I'm sure you know a lot more about how well each one works than I do though... but as a consumer, while I have definite issues with both of them, I like Microsoft more than Google.
