Michael-5, you misunderstood what makes up the total power of a GPU there for a while, but all along your logic behind the power of the PS4 was right (for example that the extra 4GB RAM ain't there to improve graphics, but it adds potential for bigger levels with more content etc).

Yes, 9x PS3 is the best case scenario (except for a few games like Skyrim that was memory constrained on the PS3, but this time around the PS4 instead has a comparably weaker CPU so it roughly evens out).

Also what these other guys forgot to tell you is that in exclusive games PS3 had the advantage of the Cell, since they could use some graphical tricks through the Cell CPU (like AA), tricks that usually are processed through the GPU.

So bottom line is: in multiplatform games PS4 is 9x powerful than the PS4 but for the top-op-the-line exlusives (Santa Monica, Naught Dogs) it will be less than 9x powerful than PS4.
