Personally I think both next gen MS and Sony consoles will be close to power. I got the idea however after seeing some Sony fans attacking Wii U for being "underpowered".

Its just in general some Sony fans seem to be caring more and more about graphics now days.

Power is about more than just graphics. It affects everything from multi-tasking, loading times, 3rd party support, AI, Physics..etc...etc.

So PS4 will need more than just a good GPU, it would need a good CPU and fast RAM. Wii U is missing the last two.


I'd really hate to bring this up but, if it's using the AMD APU, the CPU won't be on the strong side either, but it doesn't take much to build a good multi-tasking CPU these days since the tech has evolved so a strong CPU is becoming more and more irelevant for gaming as GPUs continue to advance and get better at things the CPU is just not as good for. RAM use is also in the eyes of the beholder and is based on bottlenecks in a system. I've also said this in another thread reccently, but in reality, it's not Nintendo catching up to MS or Sony, but rather how MS and Sony can catch to Nintendo on a gaming console business front since Nintendo already bagged 7th gen and is still making a ton of money off their handhelds.
