Why would I shell out 400$ for what amounts to a tablet? Because Sony put Final Fantasy on it?

Wow, this maybe be the most hyperbolic statement I have read on the Internet all week. Both PS4 and Xbox one far surpass general tablets in power and gaming functionality. Plus a decent entry level tablet runs around 400 dollars or more depending on brand. Honestly nothing in the above statement makes sense.
OT: I am going to do what I did last generation. I am going to buy consoles and upgrade my PC as it makes sense to do so. Eventually I will end up with every next-gen platform, though I see this taking several year unless I win the lottery.
They run on Tablet components, and budget priced components at that. The Jaguar is said to be around 1.5-2 GHz in processing power, which is horrible. It being an APU does not give it confidence.
Umm. The PS4 and new Xbox run on semi-custom built jaguar chips that have more cores then the tablet specific version. Which is hardly the samething a made out of "tablet" components as that implies that I could buy a tablet with a console processor inside of it. Not a chip related to the PS4 chip, but the exact chip. Also I have yet to find a tablet with a blu-ray drive in it. Or a tablet capable of playing the games they are showing off at E3.
So yes they are using a processor drived from a processor developed for the form factor market. That does make it bad a bad thing. It makes it better on power useage and temperature control then a full blown desk top CPU.
Still stupid to compare the new consoles to tablet. They are not in the same ballpark.
Since a lot of the games they shown at E3 were played on a PC, that is not a good thing for their power.
How many times did we see the consoles actually play a game with our own eyes? And not a controller hooked up to a PC? You can say "oh but look at E3 graphics" but you fail to notice E3 is meant just for marketing and chest thumping. The graphics on there rarely is the graphics at release.
It can easily be spruced up to look better than it actually will be. Hell, a modification of a CPU can only go so far. Power and temp should NEVER be a factor in a console. Console gamers don't care about power draw, or how hot their parts are getting unless it destroys the console.
Console gamers don't care unless it is about games.
