PS4/Xb3 will be 4-8 times more powerful than the Wii U.

I thought they would have had a power supply closer to the max power draw, my mistake.

Yeah me too, why isn't that the case ?

Components ageing maybe? I've heard power supplies lose efficiency over time.

This.

OT:

Doubling the power consumption doesn't give double the performance. Even with the example you gave that's clearly not the case. Yes, the 7870 performs twice as good as the 7770 in 1 or 2 games but in most games it's only 60-70% more. By your logic the 7870 should be at least 3 times as powerful as the 7750 yet the real difference is just a tad over 100% more performance.

 

I'm not saying the PS4/XBox 8 won't be 4 or more times as powerful but basing that on power consumption is just wrong. Just look at the difference between the GTX 6xx and the AMD Radeon HD 7xxx in terms of performance/Watt.
