Cell phones are nowhere near close to putting out the same level of power as a console.

The power of the Cell phone has more than doubled every year for the past 4 years.  So, 4-5 years from now, the will probably have more than enough power to handle most games.

With that said/ I wasn't speaking only to smartphones, I was also talking about tablets.

If the amount of power in the ps3 or 360 could be fit into the size of a phone on top of battery and speakers, why don't we have ps360 slims the size of iphones?

Protip: Phones cannot even emulate ps2. The best they can do right now? psp level.

The samsung galaxy s4 uses the bolded. 51.1 Gigaflops.

The ps4?

1.8 TERAflops. That's more than 35 times more powerful.

PS3 is 215 Gigaflops. Still 4 times more powerful.

Ps2 is 6 Gigaflops. The most expensive brand new most powerful phone is less than 10x stronger than a console designed over a decade ago, and outclassed by a console made almost 8 years ago.

I didn't say that todays cell phones could do this.  I was speaking of the cell phones coming out in the fall of 2015(2 years from now).  You are comparing something that isn't relevent - emulators.  I never said that the games would be run on emulators, I said they could be ported to them.  If you look at the A7 processor found in the latest Iphone, it is using a 64 bit architecture and is quite powerful.  Is it PS360 powerful?  No.  But 2 years from now is a different story.
