SOny has single-handedly advanced the notion of a "supercomputer" for years now. A turbo-charged supercomputer on steroids, the ps4 will mark the pinnacles of graphics and high-end computng horsepower. There's no doubt that the pS4 will makr the dramatic rise of Sony as they reclaim the supercomputer market for themselves. It's rumored that the US govt will be purchasing millions of ps4's to run their top-secret servers and do all their supercomputing and domestic spying. For reference please see this historic documentary- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH2w2l1JTs4

Hmm...yeah except that my PC has far higher specs than the PS4.  So... I'm advancing the notion of the supercomputer and leaving Sony in the dust?

PS4 = more power for less cost. Duh.

In comparison to what?  On it's face, PS4 is a mid-spec gaming PC.  Impressive for a game console, certainly, but by no means competing with high-end gaming PCs. 

A PC with the same specs as the PS4 is more expensive than the PS4, thus PS4 = more power for less cost. It's really quite simple.
