So waht?

By this logic an iPhone 4, 5 and 6 (or equal Andrioid smartphones) have more processing power than the old PS3 and X360.

NOW show me the mobile games which are equivalent to console games like: TLOU, GTA V, Gears Of War, Forza Motorsport, Uncharted and so on on !

Should be not be a problem beaucse those smartphones have equal or even double power of the last-gen consoles ...

power is one thing, usage of the power (=GAMES) is the other.

And last but not least the HEAT (!) an smartphone would burn if it run a game like TLOU or Gears over several hours, it has no cooler nor fans to run at the max CPU/GPU power over a longer time.

 

@PATCHER:


Well I can play something like Real Racing 3 on my iPad for hours at a time if I want and it won't melt, lol. 

The iPhone 6 is approaching PS3/360 horsepower, the reason you don't see games that utilize that much horsepower is because developers have to make sure their games will run on the iPhone 4/5/5c etc. too, not just the 6. 

That and these games have to be sold for $1 or even free and most mobile consumers actually prefer more simplistic style/casual/arcadey games. 

I don't want a glass of wine and an apetizer when I'm in a burger joint. 

The Vita runs Killzone, and Killzone looks comparable/better than some early gen PS3/360 titles. And the Vita's chipset is ancient, it's basically an iPhone 5 chip I believe, the newer chips that Apple uses smoke the Vita processor. 

 

So you compare RR3 to FM4/GT6 or you think they are "equivalent" ... ok no other questions then ...

Yeah, the great $1 or free games can go up to $60 or more thanks to build in-app purchase options.

Moreover RR is exactly build up on the idea of spending money via in-app "microtransactions".

Either you have to wait few hours till your energy/fuel (or whatever) is charged again or you recharge it for $$$.

Yes it's funy for 1-2 hours, then you have to wait or pay, so if you play it for hours in a row then it cost more than just $1 ;)

So please give me a break, I played this games (RR, CSR Classics, ...) several times on my iphone.

IMO are such racing games just "garbage" compared to console racing games, same as FIFA etc.

From a technical POV though your premise isn't sound per se. The new iPhone (6) has a processor that's closing the gap with the PS3/360 pretty quickly. 

It probably could render something quite close GT6 at say a 960x540 resolution. Note that it drives a display that's higher than 1080p even for a lot of games. 

It wouldn't run on the iPhone 4/5/5c though, which is why devs won't bother just yet. 

The iPhone 7 will probably be capable of visuals fairly on par with GT6. Whether you personally enjoy the games is your own opinion, but I'm talking about visual performance.
