The idea behind the horse power is that it allows developers to port their regular console games to it. It also allows a synergy between the home and portable console, which is a great novelty. Its not simply for "graphic junkies". Between, the back touch panel isnt to be used at the same time as the touch screen. Its meant to be used as a complement to the regular control method. Like for casting a spell, reloading a gun ect., think of it as replacing the R2/L2 shoulder button as well as allowing more flexibility.

Which is exactly what Sony did with the PSP. Only now its PS3 games. Should it be anymore exciting now since then? Not really, since at least the PSP was porting an older generation, and we had the PS3 for a new generation. Now Sony will have a handheld and a home console with the exact same games.
There -has- been talk of using the back touch panel at the same time as the front one for "new gameplay experiences". I don't know if someone was falsely reporting this or not.
