Mobile graphics will overtake PS4 and Xbox One by next year, ARM claims

MCV Staff 17th February 2016 Business News

Smartphone and tablet titles will be graphically superior to the current generation of consoles by the end of next year.

That’s the bold claim from chip manufacturer ARM, which said that as mobile hardware already exceeds the visuals of the PS3 and Xbox 360, portable devices would surpass PS4 and Xbox One by the end of 2017.
