Not just power, but gpu design eg. dx 9, dx 11 etc. All that combined would tell you were the consoles sit at in terms of correct technological generations.

Are you saying that Microsoft decides what is considered "next-gen"?

I thought it was Sony who decided when a generation started, hehehe... Like when the PS2 lacked many of the features the GC and Xbox had, Sony decided to start not only 6th generation with the PS2, but 7th generation too with the Xbox and GC... /sarcasm

Also, I've been wondering for a while... What's a terraflop?

A "Teraflop" is the ability to do a trillion floating point calculations in a second. If a system can do 1.8 TFLOPS, it does 1.8 trillion.

It was a sarcastic question. Of course I know what's a teraflop. But I keep seeing the word "teRRaflop" around here, so maybe it was something exclusive, like The Cell or something.
