POWER architecture is very scalable, up and down, they could be 16 simple cores, each one little more complex and powerful than each XB360 one, it could be little more than 5 times as powerful as XB360's tri-core if used at its full potential, while offering full HW BC too, and still keeping reasonable price and power consumption for a console, as for a CPU a 5-6x performance leap in 8 years is very conservative and not at all daring.
