Actually the PS4 GPU is stronger than the 7850... its closer to the 7870, than it is to the 7850.

Then factor in codeing closer to metal with consols... and yeah the PS4 is alot stronger than a 860m graphics card.

It may be. Though I wonder how much of a bottleneck is the weak CPU Sony and Microsoft opted for, specially for the games targeting 60 fps. Eight Bulldozer? Vishera? cores at 1.6 GHz probably perform worse than the Phenom II I'm pairing my GTX 970 with...

That is the fault of Direct X.

Mantle & Direct X 12.... can do so much more with the same hardware, than they could with say Direct X  9/10/11, and they are both probably astep or two behinde what you can do on the consols.

 

So that "weak" cpu the PS4 has, might be able to do more than someone with a 8 core Bulldozer @ 3.2ghz can on Windows 8.1, when it comes to gameing.
