I don't get why there's such a big power difference.

Everything you just posted is rubbish, that has already beeen explained in the thread. It is NOTHING like ps3, last gen the 360 actually had numerous advantages, while ps3 had cell but it was difficult, The GPU and power gap is a lot bigger, with ps4 also being easier to code for. Technology is measurable, it is not some magic you can bend, the ps4 is a lot more powerfull and that is not changing, in fact the gap will widen.

Its not rubbish.

Both systems have similar CPU/GPU, however, the memory and other architecture is vastly different.

PS4 is likely the lead due to this simplicity of single memory pool and increased raw power. Thus devs in these launch games have a better handle and produce initially better results.

Its going to be quite the wake up call to many a fanboy when Xbone/PS4 3rd party games are really almost identical in a year or so.

Neither machine is being used to its full power or very efficiently at this time. Both will improve a lot.

It was rubbish. Similar architecture <> similar power, Thats like saying a weak PC is the same as a powerfull one because of similar architecture. Similar architecture actually make the advantage bigger as it will be easier for devs to tap into the extra power of the PS4. The gpus are similar but one has a lot more compute units and shader power. The more powerfull system is also easier to work on and has less over head.

 

there were differences most of all last gen in multi-plats...with systems that were close, ps4 is a lot further ahead this gen in power.

 

You are the one looking at a wakeup call, even industry people have been on record saying the gap will grow. The x1 ha smajor bottlenecks ps4 doesn;t no amount of wizardry is going to make x1 run even more demanding games as well as ps4.

 

 

It is nothing like last gen, in fact it's the opposite.
