Sorry but you just can't compare the pipeline architecture of the PS3 to the PS1 and PS2. Sony themselves have said on record that the way the PS3 pipeline is set up would make it impossible for the PS4 to natively run any PS3 game, even if you did plonk the cell cpu in. The best you can hope for is for Sony to use their newly acquired Geiko cloud streaming service to stream back catalogue games to the PS4.

First run ps3s were rated for 380w.

Sorry, should of clarified that i was just referring to CPU power consumption on it's own.

Got a source? My searches for any such comment from Sony are coming up empty
