shinobi: so with 352 gflops, bandwidth and cpu bottle necks, is it weaker or stronger then current gen, your opinion would be welcomed.

Stronger than current gen, these bottlenecks are grossly exaggerated. As in any system, engines must be tailored to exploit platform strengths while minimizing weaknesses. As I've said before, the CPU is indeed weaker than the 360's, but this is a heavily GPU reliant system. Also slower ram is unusable now? A truly functional tessellation unit, better texure IQ, 50%+ more dedicated system ram, advanced realtime lighting & shadowing capabilities, taken as a whole this bests the current generation. Albeit not by any vast margin. In these discussions I find we always discount the tablet's capabilities, rendering a totally unique game scene completely independent of the screen. Replete with shading & geometry.

exactly, you need some kind of power to run 360 level grafix TWO times
