Rage is a beast, but it's not the best the iPad can do. "I definitely don't look at this as maxing out the iPad by any stretch of the imagination."

He marks the iPad's potential in the middle of today's consoles: "It is great for me to see a lot of people saying this looks better than anything on my Wii and a quarter of the games on my 360, which is about how I would rank the power levels there. You should be able to do something that's better on an iPad than anything that's done on the Wii. A 360 or PS3 does have several times integral-multiple more power but there's certainly some games where developers don't take much advantage of it. We're nowhere close to maxing out what could be done on an iPad."
