"You make many good points as to why the consoles shouldn't be 8x the power of PS3. Why if you can make a game on a console say 100% more powerful then PS3 look as good as a state of the art PC game, would you care to invest heavy amounts of cash in producing hardware that developers won't use?

This isn't like the jump from X-Box to PS3, you can't push the limits as far. Even if the technology existed to make a console 8x the power of PS3. Developers and consumers wouldn't buy it. Infact since WiiU is the only console using multiple screens and the average high end TV is 1080p why would any of the manufacturers need a console more powerful then 100%."

"Well CryTek already said Crysis the first game could not be played on PS3 it just wasn't powerful enough. Now EA says BattleField can't be played on consoles without being dummed down. Fact is as EA said their aren't many 1080p 60 frames a second games on the consoles, because they have a hard time handling it. The realistic graphics found on PC's are just far superior to that of the five year old PS3."

"EA also said that WiiU could handle BattleField3 now they were probably refering to the PC version based on comments from Nintendo about 1080p resolutions and 60 frames a second capabilities.

I have a 1080p TV, I want to see a console that takes advantage of my TV's higher resolution. Based on those specs alone PS3 will be in a run for its money. PS4 will come when Nintendo starts to make money. I'm guessing 2013 after Microsoft and Nintendo both get their consoles on the market."


Saying two different things in two different threads? Isn't that close to trolling?
