This is for those who care about "Next Gen" console graphics

To comment on the video, let me just quote ''we did not focus on power consumption''. If they did it would show something like this:

Power consumption GTX 480 card only:                       ~270 Watts

Power consumption Playstation 4 entire system:       ~135 Watts

That means just one GTX 480 consumes twice the amount of power as an entire Playstation 4 system. In other words if you would try to use a card like the GTX 480 in a console it would fry in minutes.

Wattages don't really matter in this context. The consoles aren't as powerful as they should be. I remember PC forums in 2005/2006 where people would be asking if they should get a 360 or a 7800 GTX (Nvidia's flagship GPU at the time) and be told that a 360 would give better performance!

A PS4 is so far behind it's ridiculous. Nobody is comparing PS4 hardware to a GTX 780ti because that's not even a fair fight. Whereas comparing a 360 to a bleeding edge GPU was ok at the dawn of the last generation.

Despite the x86 architecture, I truly believe that only the best developers in the world (like ND) will be able to work the hardware to produce something that looks truly mindblowing.
