Irrelevant. It's still stronger than the 3DS, and that's all that matters...

The bounds that mobile industry has grown in tech is far faster than game consoles. These phones and tablets that are 'technically' inferior to a PS360 can do the same games right now... i.e. same/similar technologies. So while the tablets/phones won't have the exact same hardware in 2014, I'm sure we'll see the same games released. Basically, its taken longer for gaming to become something of interest on mobile devices, but once they were, the tech and games themselves have increased exponentially.

Its taken only two years for phones/tablets to catch Wii/PSV. Its only months away to catch PS360. Then another  year or 1.5 to catch what will then be current-gen in late 2014. Plus we have services like Onlive that already provide the same content so long as you have the bandwidth.

Which CPU is better, Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5?

Are you not going to have a phone? Contract cost is meaningless.

At this rate Iphone 6 should be able to beat high end PC gaming in 2 years.

I can't wait for portable 3 screen Crysis 4 on the go using my 3 Iphone 6's is eyefinity.

iPhone5.

S3's is pretty much equal to Vitas.

The new A6 chip has been confirmed to be ARM Cortex A15?

Yes... its all over the net.

Buying the iPhone for 600 bucks or whatever and getting a custom contract that fits your needs would almost everytime leave you with a better deal, sometimes even way better. But I'm not here to defend anything, I have a 8 year old phone with a 10€ prepaid card :D

But it's true, you can clearly see that Sony made a huge mistake with their policy. They wanted to get a super powerful device on the market that would last them 10 years and their primary selling point is power and graphical fidelity, but Moore's Law just keeps raining on their parade.

Thanks for the info SuperChunk. Very interesting that it uses a Cortex-A15. Off the top of my head I think it's the first consumer product that uses the A15 core. Wonder how long before we see next gen Tegra and Exynos based products coming out using the A15.

Is it just me or does Tegra3 already outshine Vita? I know it currently uses A9 but it's quad core, clocked at 1.2-1.6GHz, the GPU seems to be well supported by developers and has some incredible looking games. I was very impressed with some of the games on my Nexus 7 yet that's the weaker of the chips and with a higher res screen than Vita to boot.
