Does the PS4 have Extra power for no Reason? (Like PS3)

Visually speaking, the ps3 was always ahead of the curve at least when compared to the 360. Look how long Uncharted 2 held the "best looking console game of all time" title. I think it was at least until UnCharted 3 stepped up.

Was PS3 ever really ahead visually though? Sure, Uncharted 2 was praised very much for its great graphics but again, does it really matter if it looks a bit better than Halo 4 or Gears Of War 3? I guess for people on here it does but the majority would likely not care. I honestly can't see any difference between the 2 systems and I know I'm not alone.

 

I agree, "power" is not everything. What was the defining factor for me was the controller, the inclusion of SixaxiS in Dualshock 3, all you have to do is look at flOwer to truly see why the game (at the time) was not possible anywhere else. (Not the rendering of each blade of grass that someone once said in an interview. It was the mix of the visuals capable on the ps3 and the controller that made that game possible.

I think Sony made the smart choice of trying new things with the DS4, X1 doesn't seem to do anything unique, yes it has the menu and view buttons but the DS4 offers much more opportunities for game functionality. I'm really looking forward to PS4 exclusives who can use the controller to its full potential.
