PlayStation 4 represents possibly the single biggest leap seen in a console generation

You clearly weren't around for the SNES-N64 or N64-Gamecube leaps. ;)

I'm a old NES owner... after SNES, PlayStation, N64, PS2 and PS3/Wii.

Maybe, yeah maybe, the SNES to N64 was big but that's just because the 2D to 3D is more noticiable... I don't know if the jump was that big.

But form the first games the PS4-PS3 jump is bigger than PS3-PS2.

From what we've seen so far, I'd say PS2-PS3 leap was bigger; not just SD to HD, but primitive shaders to full per-pixel and per-vertex shaders.

Plus, PS3 had 37 times as many Gigaflops as PS2, but ps4 has 7.8 times as many Gigaflops as PS3.
