iPad: Can iPad 5 Compete with Playstation 3 if not upcoming PS 4?

[CalmEnvy]

Just stop. iPad and PS3/PS4 are two different and unrelated things. PS3/PS4 is a home console while iPad is a mobile computing device. PS3/PS4 is optimized for gaming while the iPad is not. Your comparison would be better between an iPad and a PSVita or DS. While the iPad 5 have graphics like Uncharted? No and compete against the PS4? Have you seen the PS4 raw specs? It has 8GB of GDDR5 ram. iPad will obviously sell more but in now way can it compete with PS4 or anyone home console on gaming.

Sure it won't compete against the specs of the PS4 and soon to be announced next Xbox. But really the iPad is a better cash generator than either the Playstation, Xbox and mobile consoles like the PS Vita.

True but they're not in direct competition. There may be effects on each other but console games and tablet pcs are 2 different markets.

...but not a better gaming device which is what this thread is about.
