Hey, you're talking to a guy who doesn't consider 720p vs 1080p a big deal even on a television screen. ;)

All I'm saying is, technically speaking, claims from a few years back that phones would soon overpower PS3/360 have come true, even if most games don't leverage this capacity.

I am not sure overpower is the right word though.

Say Rockstar had infinite money. Made GTAVI for PS3/360 and Mobile putting as much into the game as possible. Would the mobile version be better in the majority of aspects?

Assuming is had a similar amount of resources committed to it as the PS3/360 versions, I see no reason why it couldn't.

The capability is there; high end mobile GPUs have more Gigaflops than last gen consoles and support more modern feature sets like DX11, tesselation, geometry shaders, etc.

It'd drain your battery pretty fast, but it'd still work.
