The PISTON Console from Xi3 certainly is NOT it, that box doesn't pass the sniff test. From Xi3's press release: $1000 and 384 graphics cores. Lets run the numbers (PS4 cores from wikipedia),
Xi3: $1000 / 384 cores = $2.6/core
PS4: $400 / 1152 cores = $0.3/core
In other words the Xi3 looks to be 7.5x more expensive in $/perf compared to a PS4, and roughly 3x slower in graphics. This is no gaming console.
