We expect the next generation of consoles - The XBox 720 and Playstation 4 to be substantially better spec wise than the previous generation. It's not an unfair expectation, but we should not focus our pursuit purely on the amont of FLOPS or the amont of RAM a new system can put out, instead we need to look a lot deeper.




The current generation of consoles (well the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3) have around 250GFLOPS of computing power, which for the time of their release was impressive. But, as they say - times change, and now it's starting to feel sluffish. We know that developers are cutting things out in games, be it high resolution textures, the rendering resolution, the size of levels, the amont of NPC's (Non Playable Characters) dotted around the level or something else entirely, there's always a pixel sacrifice going on in the name of the performance Gods.




Honestly though - it's vital to remember that it's not all just about the raw performance numbers which makes games look better. An example of this would be Anti-Aliasing. When it was first introduced it came at a huge cost in raw performance, and while it did make games look a hell of a lot better, frame rates would tank, even at low levels. Since then, there have been a number of improvements, Now, because of both software and hardware improvements FXAA and SMAA come practically free of cost.
