Power didn't push the NES, PS1, PS2, OR Wii ahead.
|
Because power back then made little difference. Even if you doubled the power of rivals, you wouldn't see much of a difference. Now though, you do and people have noticed it. Plus power now allows for a more varied game library which devs are opting for. Combine this with price and market image, and it is misguided to assume that the PS4 won't utterly dominate this generation.
|
The Wii wasn't that long ago. Another thing, how does the PS4's power allow for a more vaired game library? Aside from the resolution issue (which is overblown), there isn't a lot that PS4 can do that the Xb1 can't.
|
The PS4 has roughly 50% more power - that is a lot. This allows for more effects and mechanics eg destructible environments, use of particle physics, more objects on screen etc. People who think power only improves resolution need to either study or use a game engine to see how games actually work

Im going to stick my nose in here and throw my 2 cents in. I just sold my ps4. I know what the specs say on paper, but I have yet to see this 50% power gap. If I had seen it, I wouldn't have sold it. It might be there 5 years down the road, and if it is, I might rebuy the ps4. Until then, its all talk.
