Does this mean that Sony lied about what was in the launch PS3, since they charged 2 hundo bux less than the reported component cost?

HOELY SHITT.

No it does not obviously. Just seems to be a given when you look at the price considering that Nintendo has never sold a console at a loss in the past. Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating that they sell it at a loss just pointing out that it is not the leap in power I am looking for from a next gen console.

For the benefit of the studio audience, could you quantify this leap in power?

It would basically be a console which can run games at a detail comparable to the Unreal engine 4 and other modern game engines.

In other words I want to see a substantial improvement in lighting, textures, physics, animations etc. From what we have seen so far it appears that while the Wii U will have a modern architecture it will nevertheless be a modest upgrade over the 360/PS3. For what it's worth I hope to be proven wrong though.

 

NUMBERS, man. Only raw numbers are the true benchmark of want. Look at all the hardware speculation threads in recent history - the currency there is RAW NUMBERS.

Flop some gigs. Shade some pixels. Rez dat lution. Lose some money.
