Vindication! I'm now a Sony fan again!

Anyway, DICE says all Battlefield 4 footage was pre-Alpha. Crazy to think what it will look like closer to launch (in addition to release).

That's not a reason for why you think the PS4 is 10x as powerful or more then the PS3. That's a reason for why that video of Battlefield, which was run on a PC 3x as powerful as the PS4, might be an accurate portrayal of what it might look like on PS3. I never argued that it wasn't. You like to avoid questions you don't like the answers to, don't you?

Sorry to label you, but prove me wrong. Either show me why you think the PS4 is that much more powerful then the PS3, or admit that you initially thought of it as a more powerful device then it actually is. Admit that you were wrong about something Sony related as a Sony fan, or that you wrongfully tried to claim that I was wrong. You are a Sony fan right (I didn't say exclusively Sony did I)?

I am not wrong for saying, that because you like Sony, you'll talk down to me when I contest your optimistic view on a Sony product? You do like Sony do you not? Yes it's Vindication, but prove me wrong. Be more polite in future discussions (set a good example for Sony fans), or talk down to me when I point out less then ideal comments towards Nintendo, Microsoft or PC's. Either way, this is off topic, so stick to my question.

Why do you think the PS4 is 10-15x more powerful then the PS3 when the mass of it's components (with the sole exception of the RAM) are between 1.6 to 9x as powerful as in the PS3? I am repeating myself now.

The 1.6 times applies to the cpu i pressume?:

Cpu won't matter much in running battlefield 4 either, especially if they optimise it a bit to use all 8 cores. Also PS4 can use the gpu for big calculations like physics, something the PS3 can't. When it comes to those calculations PS4 could easily be tens of times more powerfull than a PS3.

In the end it comes down to what part will be the first bottleneck, and since PS4 has more than enough memory it will be the GPU. And that is about 9x faster, hence in it's main application(games) it will be 9x faster.
