if people r so concerned with raw power, they should just change to pc gaming. only an idiot would be looking for such things on a console.

I disagree. I don't want the next Xbox to have the power of an NES.

my point is that sony tried to claim that the ps3 was future proof and a lot of fanboys blindly believed it. in reality, the ps3 was outdated when it was released. pc ports on both the 360 and ps3 have to be downgraded significantly just to work.

In that case it would make sense to care about raw power as PC ports wouldn't have to be downgraded.

Except people can't play Uncharted on the PC.
And people want their Uncharted to look pretty.

It's quite obvious that John Carmack is just attempting to hold Microsoft and Sony fans back from purchasing the Wii-U for its graphical and processing power only.

I call major bullshit. If Sony only recently managed to stop losing money on the PS3 after 4 years of it...there's no way they can make something 10x as strong without it costing $1000 or more.

10x more powerful seems a little out there, though, two years down the line, it wouldn't be all that surprising to see tech prices drop enough that even 8x isn't all that unrealistic.

Remember, this is 2011 now. The projected release time for these new consoles is 2013, but could potentially be later. 10x isn't exactly outside the realm of possibility when you consider the time frame.

Maybe the PS3 will be able to play Crysis 4 when it comes out, whist is PC users will be laughed at for our pitiful Minecraft running 4 core CPUs.
The graphics card I just bought a few days ago has 800 cores.
(Seriously, video cards work differently to CPUs.)

Think relaistically,many people used ps+ to buy games that cost money,and addons for their free games,plus cost is in their minds i doubt it will cost over $300(least amount of gbs)

10 times is obviously ridiculous.

what would they even want to do with that much power?
i mean, come on, how much further can you go as far as graphics go? honestly, i dont want every second of a game to be filled with random effects just for the heck of it oo i also dont really care if every mans shlong moves realistically in his jeans

But yes, GPU's are totally different to CPU's.

I trust that article more. Nintendo has taught the industry that the winner is not necessarily the one who can push the most polygons, and I believe the entire next generation is going to reflect that.

That is still nothing but speculation. What exactly makes it more trustworthy? I highly doubt Sony is going to turn its back on what PS gamers have come to expect. When top notch graphics and fun games are expected from a company, you can not discard one without eliminating part of, or maybe even a large chunk of your fan base. It would be a phenomenally bad idea on part of Sony to take the Nintendo approach to hardware.

The PS4 is going to come out in at least 5 years. I bet that the technology then will be cheaper enough to make a 10x more powerful machine than the PS3.

It increases exponentially, just remember Nintendo: 8 bit > 16 bit > 64 bit
