You don't believe but that's the thuth... the PS4 a lot of specifics units to free up the GPU and CPU plus optmizations and no OS weight... the HD 7850 can have GTX 680 performance like.

PC users like you never undestood that.

and I keep saying that be prepared to be disappointed months ago, my vita prediction was spot on too, you need to understand that I like sony a lot and I think sony 1st party exclusives are awesome for the most part, but they either make mistakes or people are expecting too much, be more realistic instead of hyping things up all the time so I don't keep proving you wrong on a regular basis

The primary factor most unrealist people seem to ignore is that Sony is not in a strong financial position, and for them to be successful they have to produce a relatively inexpensive system that can be sold at a price consumers will be happy with ($400 or less) without losing significant amounts of money for Sony.

The technology may exist for Sony's engineering team to produce a system that is 10 or 20 times the performance of the PS3, but Sony can not afford to do subsidize a system that is that expensive to make it successful so it is an awful strategy. Below 4 times the performance of the PS3 is also a dead end for Sony because it will be difficult to sell their system to existing PS3 fans with such a small improvement. So, 6 to 8 times the performance of the PS3 is the most likely range for the PS4.

At the likely performance range of the PS4, there is a trade-off between higher frame-rates, higher resolutions, and more detail compared to PS3 games; and I think it is far more likely that games will be at 720p@30fps to get a big visual jump than be at 1080p@60fps (or higher) with almost no visual upgrades.
