can you quantify exactly how powerful these people you refer to expected the ps4 to be?

No, just leaps and bounds beyond the PS3.  They expect it to run some new engine that came out for the PC effortlessly, forget what it's called.

what does "leaps and bounds" mean in this context?

i ask because it sounds comparable to what i've seen some niintendo fans say of the wii u

 

"expect it to run some new engine..."

unreal engine 4?
