And that's assuming the PS4 games, and not just the apps, will actually be running on the BSD system.

Console drivers are nothing like their PC counterparts. They are very lightweight and expose all the functionality the specific hardware provides, nothing more and nothing less. It's up to the game developers to make sure their game runs as it should, not the driver developers.
The difference is that the 360 didn't require a Gold subscription to function. It was only needed to do online stuff.
Dell (and other companies) have been creating these "console PCs" for years now, it has nothing to do with this upcoming console generation.
The RPi foundation has said many times that they aren't planing on doing any spec upgrades any time soon.
I'd like a source on that because I only know of two WiiU games that render at 1080p: Rayman Legends, which is a 2d game, and Monster Hunter 3G HD, which is a port of a Wii game.
The WiiU does 1080p the same way current Xbox 360 and PS3 do. While it's technically possible, in practice the console isn't powerful enough to do it on anything but the most graphically simple games.
But I see a difference between getting paid to be good at a mentally challenging game and being good at playing a game where you "blow stuff up".
Games where you "blow stuff up" can be just as mentally challenging as chess.
GMA950 does "support" PS 2.0, but only on Windows through Direct3D. I say "support" because even though it technically does support it, it has some extreme limitations in what is supported in hardware, and as soon as you exceed them, which is very easy even on the simplest of shaders, it reverts to a software implementation and the performance plummets.
That's the model B. The model A the parent is talking about doesn't have ethernet support at all.

Even though the interesting parts of the RPi's GPU drivers remain closed source (the parts that run on the GPU), they have opened up enough of it that the drivers can easily be ported to different operating systems, or even used without an OS. It's not much but it's still better than the rest of the ARM SoCs.
Not necessarily. OpenGL ES has different profiles for floating-point and fixed-point arithmetic.
Developers have been able to self-publish on the PSN (PS3, Vita and upcoming PS4) for a while now.
Wasn't it also rumoured that the console won't work if the Kinect camera isn't connected?
Real Users are afraid they'll break the machine -- but they're never afraid to break your face.
