I didn't say that todays cell phones could do this. I was speaking of the cell phones coming out in the fall of 2015(2 years from now). You are comparing something that isn't relevent - emulators. I never said that the games would be run on emulators, I said they could be ported to them. If you look at the A7 processor found in the latest Iphone, it is using a 64 bit architecture and is quite powerful. Is it PS360 powerful? No. But 2 years from now is a different story. |
Way to dance around the point. Is that a salsa, or are you just twerkin it?
You said that phones doubles in power every 5 years. If the current most popular new phone is 60gigaflops, then in 5 years, it'll be 120...which is coincidentally what the 360 is capable of. Now then, to reach ps4? By the 5 year standard, it'll be approximately...let's see 120..240..480..960..1800....25 years.
Not including factors like some kind of miracle breakthrough in batteries and CPGPUs.
But anyways, since you've now retreated to your tablet haven (where you might actually have a point)...again, we're looking at battery issues as well as overheating issues and the problem with die shrinking slowing down. You simply cannot keep shrinking on a stable rate.
The next breakthrough in terms of computers is quantum. Until that happens, do not expect phones or tablets to match a console, because as you may have guessed yourself, there will be new consoles too.
Superchunk was right about one thing. Android consoles will appear. Conversely, MS and Sony, and now Steam will offer major competition. Why buy a system that plays the same games as your phone/pad when you can play something else? The market just doesn't make sense.
