BF3 is not next gen. BF3 doesn't look significantly better than Bad Company 2 and it's clearly designed with consoles in mind. Only minor X11 effects are on the PC version of BF3 but the main assets are the same between PC and console versions, such as character models, amount of polygons, base textures, mipmaps.

In a couple of years you will see Frostbite 3 engine that will be truly designed for next gen consoles and the PC versions of Frostbite 3 games will have 16GB recommended system RAM and 4 GB video ram.

Owning the PS3 version on a 46" 1080p TV and playing it on my buddies PC shows quite a difference in techinical capabilities. Watch this full screen in HD, look at more than the up front textures. Lighting, smoke, water, drawing distance with higher textures on PC, animation, destruction... so many things are simply better. This all from the first game made on the engine that was also designed to be ported down to consoles. Imagine what it would be if it was on high-end PCs and next gen hardware. Frostbite 2 is intended for next gen stuff. 4GB shared RAM... that's all your getting at best. Quote me.

 

 

I was going to show this to show the true graphical difference between console generations.

Your BF3 video has no significant difference between console and PC xcept for the framerate, which proves that BF3 isn't a next gen game, nor is Frostbite a true next gen engine.
