I'm a bit of a laymen with this techno jargon, but next gen consoles using tablet and notebook tech with the capabilities of running BF3 at medium settings at 1080p out of the gate, this all seems rather disappointing imo. What am I missing, is power consumption really that detrimental?
Medium? Runs at high at 50-60 fps and that doesn't account for the things which will make powerful, like coding and optimizing for one platform and far less OS overhead.
